I've been trying to keep this in perspective but the amount of hair that left my head today is alarming!!! Im frightened and in tears. I had surgery Oct 23rd. This is freaking me out. I get handfuls coming out. Im over concerned now because I have eyebrow alopecia and waxed my arms years ago and the hair never grew back. Im so scared im going to lose my hair and its not gonna come back. Please share some encouraging words.

How does alcohol relax the band? I've noticed this but it must constrict the tissue around the band..interesting.

Hairloss is a direct result of the anesthetic. Im experiencing it after 8 weeks. I've been shedding a tremendous amount. Its scary. I've been taking biotin..multis protein etc. All my research says to sit tight and let it run its course. Its very consuming. :/

Think I'm going to have to unfill, but how much?
Banderina replied to The Band & Mia's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The office called said my band is wide open now and they think something fibrous was stuck and cleared..they want me to get a fill going in 3 weeks. Its true though I can eat now..the bad part is even with that small unfill the hunger has returned..i had no hunger before...let the will power kick in! -
I just had alot of foam and mucous. It cleared the next day. My first fill was a big one 4cc. Second was 1cc. I had a .5cc unfill. Now I can eat better but the hunger came back. Darnit for that part. I was never hungry with the 5cc. Im going to put it back in 3 weeks, try again.

I just had an unfill and barium swallow today...i was at 5cc now to 4.5...huge difference! Feel so much better! -
Going in for an unfill...never thought I would say that.
-
He took out .5 then sent me for a barium swallow. My doctor is awesome, so understanding..after the unfill the barium liquid sailed through. No slip, no erosion and liquids going down fine. I feel so much better! He wants me back in one month to put back the .5 Im so happy I went in and got checked out!

I have scars..dont really care about them..

Eating small bites and chewing is hard!!!
Banderina replied to Annie1976's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its very hard to reprogram. I think 5cc is to much for me and calling tmrrw to see about a small unfill.
