How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?



Recommended Posts

Am just over two months post op and the Hair loss is getting worse. I have been taking Biotin and Protein Shakes. I have read on here that it grows back, but when!? I already have short hair and am worried sick!

I'm also very anxious to hear what others have to say about this.

Doctor said it's from anesthesia. I am 6 months post banding and just started Biotin past week. We'll see.

That's weird though. I has had anesthesia before wight no hair loss. I just hope it stops soon!

I'm taking 7500mg Biotin and keeping up with Protein. I have thinning already on top of my head it's bad. Only 3 1/2 months I want it to stop. I cried today so sad. If you have thinning spots you can use toppix (powder for scalp) which helps. I have ordered a custom lace wig for top of my head since I feel that bad. Weight is coming off normal which is great but I wish I had more hair to cover the loss...

I've noticed more in the shower and on my shirt (mid length hair that I expect to break off here and there, but there's been more lately). Why does this happen?

I am eight months out from being banded and I still am dealing with thinning hair and Hair loss, after trying Biotin with no results I went to talk to my doc and even with taking my Vitamin D it showed in my lab levels that it still was not enough so they prescribed me a higher dose of Vitamin d im hoping it works. I just started it so its to early to tell

mine started about 3 months post surgery and after 2 months now its getting better , Biotin wont stop the hairloss it just helps the growing of the new hair , i noticed that after starting to drink at least one Protein Shake a day, it got better but it might be my imagination who knows ....i had very thin hair to begin with. so now if i wanna wear it in a ponytail it looks like a pigs tail thats how thin it is. but its just hair it will grow back until then i just have to be creative ;) ....long as this weight keeps coming off its all good :)

      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!
