Hair falling out at 4 1/2 months post-op
klopez002 replied to LoriWhip's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doc said between 3-9 months. The dietician recommended adding hydrolyzed collagen powder to my shakes. Hopefully it helps! I’m at month 5 and it’s all coming out! -
Ok so I am 5 months post-op from bypass and my hair is falling out like crazy. The dietitian said it’s Norma from 3 to 9 months post op and recommended I start adding a hydrolyzed collagen powder to my shakes to slow the hair loss. I looked it up and there are sooo many options! Has anyone found a powder they recommend?

Abdominal binder! I wore it about a week at home too. I bought one, but i came out of the OR with one on. But definitely helps keep your tummy from not moving so much -

Food wont stay down
klopez002 replied to humblebeast's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this at week 4. I went to the doc and he sent me straight back to the hospital. He said it was a stricture. The stricture did not show up on a cat scan. I had an endoscopy and they had to put a balloon in to dilate it so I can eat. Can take two or three dilation for it to be fixed. I started unable to keep food down, then soups, then I was unable to even keep water. -
I had bypass on 1-31 and I’ve had the hardest time keeping anything down the last couple of days, even water. I’m not vomiting, but after I drink, everything just comes back up. It’s super uncomfortable! I’m going to contact the doc in the am but has anyone else experienced it? I did some research and possibly a stricture, but who knows

It took me a good week...

I was just going to post on this. I think o have the same thing. I’m going to contact my doc in the am. I can’t even keep down water now. I’m not vomiting, it just comes back up and is extremely uncomfortable!
