Hair loss question: what are we talking here?
gulfbeachgal replied to susan1961's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have hair loss at about the 3rd month out. I noticed it falling out more when wet than dry. I bought Nioxin shampoo/conditioner that can be bought through your hairdresser. I also take Biotin and Zinc, which my doctor recommended. The funny thing is that I completely lost my underarm hairs! Too bad I didn't loose my leg hairs! Drink plenty of Protein drinks, if you do not get enough protein in.:tongue2: -
band slippage, stitches popping and erosion
gulfbeachgal replied to brendaanise's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You will avoid slippage, as long as you don't over eat. Be careful and follow the guidelines. If you vomit a lot, by overeating, I heard that can make your band slip. Good Luck -
I took off 5 days, and I was fine going back. Just a little sore from gas pains in my shoulder. They said if you keep active, and walk it will heal you better than just sittting around. I also got up that evening in the hospital and walked as soon as I felt decent. You are better off walking then lying down a lot. Good Luck
