I have been experiencing a lot if Hair loss over the last few months....my hair is everywhere and comes out every time I touch my hair. Anyone else experience this? What did you do?

That does seem to be a problem with fast weight loss. You'll probably hear from a number of people. My Dr. suggested making sure you take a good Multivitamin, eating at least 75 grams of Protein a day, and using Nioxin Shampoo.< /p>

I also take Biotin and Zinc to help. Mine stopped dropping so fast after a bout 6 months, now it is just old age! :unsure:

Biotin and prenatal Vitamins have assisted with slowing my Hair loss down. I am happy with the results.

Talk to your nut and surgeon. When I told mine he put me on several Vitamins specifically for hair loss. He said that your hair goes through a seven month cycle. I took the Vitamins for three months and the Hair loss stopped and started regrowing. I am 16 months post op now and my hair is back to normal.

It was a rough Vitamin routine as you took something different every two hours during the day. If your doctor does not have this you can PM me and I will be glad to type it up for you!

I am still on Biotin, multi Vitamin and Calcium.

Happen to me too!!! It finally slowed down at about 7 month mark. But I just had abdominalplasty 10 days ago and its falling out again. For me, it must be more of the stress on the body than anything to do with food. My diet has stayed the same over these last couple of weeks.

what's the Nioxin shampoo got to do with it and what kind? I know you said Nioxin brand. I take 5000 in Biotin and yes I'm bad about forgetting my multi because it upsets my stomach so I forget to take it. I know I don't get nearly the amount of grams in Protein as you mentioned. Just got my hair color/cut/styled Friday and my stylist could tell it was thinned out from 7 weeks ago, she couldn't believe it.

The Nioxin didn't help me and is very expensive.

      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!
