How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in March and I have been noticing my Hair loss for about the last 2 months. I am trying to get enough Protein but it is really difficult some days. I am hoping it stops soon. I have always had really thick hair and now it's so thin. I really need to get my hair colored but am too scared that even more will come out if I do. I will try the Biotin that everyone seems to be talking about. Hope it helps...

Mine started around 3 months post op and lasted until about 6 months post op. I was told by my nurse that Biotin can take up to a year before you really notice results. I have been on it for at least a year now. I just had a Tummy Tuck a month ago, so I dont know if has helped or not yet.

I was banded feb. Hair loss started in may. It was horrible I lost a lot of hair. It slowed when I added a pre-natal Vitamin. I get enough Protein. I take 5000mcg of Biotin. I found a Shampoo from TRESemme that's meant for hair loss. It works wonders. Noticed a difference in about a week (don't know why the bottle is in Spanish. Lol I bought it at Walmart)

Nioxin shampoo..conditioner and scalp treatment are amazing products for thinning or hair loss...I use them in my salon...any change in diet.. meds..surgery or tramua can't reflect on ur hair and nails they are both made of keratin..deep conditions and keratin treatments are both great ideas to combat Hair loss or breakage..Paul Mitchell has a wondeful line of Wild Ginger Keratin products

So specific one. I just looked for a smaller pill and one with Iron. I read low Iron can also cause Hair loss.< /p>

      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!
