Anyone loosing hair by the clumps ? Getting all my fluids and protein in and taking biotin just is not helping 3 months out hard as a female

I'm 3 1/2 months out I am significantly loosing hair everytime I wash my hair it clogs my drain everytime I brush my hair I clean it twice!! Getting all my protein in all my fluids and added biotin to my vitamin routine and bought done exspensive scalp therapy shampoo called nioxin I'm hoping for the best

I agree go to er any numbness tingling and swelling I would go

I posted this in the ladies but posting it here in hopes to get some more suggestions I am 3 months out and my hair is falling out in clumps:( hard for a female getting in all my fluids and protein and added biotin to my vitamin regimen in the last week what else can I do I feel like crying everytime I wash or brush my hair

No pain just felt really gross like a suction lol I don't know how to describe it but absolutely no pain and it only take 2 seconds

I don't mind being a slow loser as long as it stays off. !!!!!! My doc told me I would be slow I has a band to sleeve revision at my highest I was 299 sleeve surgery day I was 227 so I lost a good amount of weight with the band and I'm 5'8 so at 227 my doc said I was a lil small for weight loss surgery lol that was extremely weird and rare to hear its hard looking at everyone's success happen quickly but in the long run if it stays off ill be happy

I had a massage one month out after I returned to work I dunno about two weeks out I was also a band to sleeve revision and I felt more sore this time the the band the first time especially where the port was I dunno I could of layed there two weeks out comfortably

I know it sounds weird and prolly the last thing you want to do when u are cramping and feel bloat but i do abdominal crunches always have since I started my period I get bad cramps doc says it helps loosen the muscles like stretching and it works for me

Yeah I need to but just switched jobs and lost my insurance have another 2 months until I qualify for benefits at my new job otherwise I would be at the doc stat

I feel healthier a d look healthier that is what is important I need to focus on that I guess just hard because in not feeling very cute

Omg I am 8 weeks out and I am just now trying this !! Should of done it earlier

I'm 4 weeks put too surgery day 227 I'm at a stall too know how you feel hang in there

I'm so glad You posted this I'm always on time !! And now I'm late and definitely not possible I'm preggo lol makes sense the cycle would be messed up

I had hair loss When I had a lapband I be been taking biotin for years really helps wont be the same but helps also try nioxin shampoo and conditioner can get it at any hair supply store I hear bosley works good too but never tried it

Those are good tips I'm gonna try that !!! Thank you all for your support !! Means a lot and you are all right what is it to my coworkers they are just my coworkers!! I really need to focus on how I'm going to get my fluids and proteins in whole I'm at work that's gonnna be hard nurses dobt really get much breaks that's more important then what people say ill let you all know how it goes

Today I am exactly one month out had a band to sleeve revision happened so fast and unexpected was only expecting to have band removal and my amazing surgeon offered me the sleeve and two months later here I am started 248 did my pre op diet for a month doc was worried about my esophagus expanding surgery day 227 and this morning weighed in at 211 a lil slow compared to most but I am happy. The only thing I am worried about is going back to work on Thursday I am a charge nurse a nursing home and people can be very nosey or shall I say nurses lol I went in last week to pick up a check and I was literally huddle by about 6 of my co workers and they were all saying comments in how I look great and that I have lost weight and I was so surprised on how extremely uncomfortable I was !! I did not tell anyone what I was doing just told them I requires surgery and I'm ok now thank you for the concern well while in this huddle a coworker of mine had the nerve to blurt out in Spanish right directly in front of me and say something I had no idea what was said seeing how I do not speak Spanish but what she said seemed to upset a friend of mine who does speak Spanish I later asked my friend what that was about and apparently my co worker said "she's lying she was never sick she had that fat surgery like the other girl" a couple of girls at my work have had the surgery and been successful but people are just so rude and really make judgements and insensitive comments especially when we have pot lucks they will make comments on what they eat how little they eat or how much they eat which is exactly why I have not chosen not to tell people about my surgery so lets just say I am not happy about going back to work I am not a person that like attention or the spotlight on me I was at work literally for 10 min and I was extremely uncomfortable. Anyone else have the same experience and how did you deal with it ?

Lol I promise I will try my best !!

And it's not normal I'm a nurse and our protocol for our patients is to give 30cc of milk of magnesia I'd no bm in 3 days call your doc and see what laxative they reccommend

15 days for me i took a stool softener since day one because of the pain meds can constipate and still nada so I took a laxative and two days later a finally had a bm but I was straining I cont to take a stool softer everyday and been goon every 3 days it really messed up my system

Mine was a saltine cracker too !! I really wanted something crunching I'm still on purée but i got scared so I crushed it and put it in soup lol it was amazing though

I'm a month out and I get that too especially when I wake up and get out of bed sounds like orthostatic hypotension just get up slowly and before getting up sit upright and let your feet dangle for a minute

I am so sick of of liquids and purée food !! I just really want something crunchy I would love a cracker or a cucumber that would be amazing!!! That's it just needed to vent

Sleeved 2/12 start weight 248 surgery day 227 and today I am 212 I've stalled but started to feel real great with energy and started the gym so hopefully that will help

You all are amazing !!
