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.

      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!
