I can only speak from experience, but my hair dresser also put in her two cents...

When I lost the bulk of my weight, hair did fall out, but not in clumps. I still had hair and kept on coloring and cutting, etc.

One thing I have noticed is my hair has become extremely dry. My hairdresser says I need to make sure I'm eating enough nutrients to keep it looking lush. She said she's seen this in many of her clients who go through weight loss surgery.

Just make sure you're taking your Vitamins (I"m not good at that...) and using good products.

Biotin will be in the Vitamin section. It is a little pill. :) Lots of people take it including myself. Does it actually work? Don't know yet as I just started taking it.

Biotin, found in the Vitamin dept (a B Vitamin). I get 5000 mg. Look for tick tack size gel caps. Look for buy one get one free sales. I was loosing hair. It seemed to stop once I started taking Biotin not sure if it stopped it or not. Does also help your nails.

Biotin is good for your hair and nails. BUT it does cause acne. I couldn't take it.

It's never caused acne for me, and I take 5-7 mgs (or whatever the unit is) of it daily. My nails have never been so strong. It has definitely helped the Hair loss, too. But if I miss a day I notice it in my hair fallout.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
