Im saying bye bye to my hair!



Recommended Posts

Paula looks like a cute little person I would want to be friends with. Sweet face.

This hair issue still chaps my hide. My hair is all back now and just as good as before. But what angers me is why doctors dont have proper answers and why they dont warn you about this very real and scary problem. If I would have known there was a chance all my hair would come out (in the span of 2 weeks) I could have prepared myself. If I hear Biotin, more Protein, topical hair potions and lotions, or multi Vitamins again....I will scream! Thats not my question! I want to know WHY? Not speculations as to what MIGHT help. Why some people and not others? Why at diferent times? Why diferent amounts? Why do doctors act like it is no big deal?

When will a doctor (any doctor) step up to the plate and give a good sound solid medical answer to this very serious problem. Im sorry to vent but listening to non qualified individuals specualte will never answer my questions. When my hairdresser, MY HAIRDRESSER, started giving me medical advice......I walked out mid Shampoo. My anger is ONLY pointed to the mutitude of doctors I have spoken with and not in any way towards anyone here. I respect this forum as a place to share, vent, exchange ideas, give love and support, etc. I am in venting mode. Thank you, I am done for the night. :lol:

I totally agree with you. I have brought this up several times at my Drs. office and I was even told that I was only the second person to have this problem. I really find that hard to believe. I just think they dont like to talk about the side effects. I would have done the surgery anyways. But like you were saying I would have like to have been prepared. Mine is still coming out but it has slowed down a lot. Thank god.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
