Hair



Recommended Posts

I know that some experience hairloss and some do not. I have natural curly hair. When dry it looks thick, full. When wet not so much. Very, very thin. I'm sure I will be one of the ones that will have hairloss. I've been looking at supplements. Not sure if taking them will ward off the hairloss. If it would make it not so noticeable. Or just do nothing at all. I will probably get the Biotin. If anyone has any suggestions, please share. (waiting on a date) So maybe I have some time to do some preventive maintainence so it won't be so noticeable. Thanks everyone. :D

If you search for Hair loss in the forums you'll find most people take Biotin, and make sure they get their Protein in. I did both, taking Biotin from pre op and making sure the protein count was high...... and still lost hair. Now at 8 months out I have about an inch of regrowth, so it does come back.

My hair is naturally slightly wavy, only slightly, but it thinned to the point where I was parting it in different ways to hide the scalp showing too much, although now I notice that its not so visible with the regrowth.

Most people experience it, and also get regrowth.... its more the shock of an operation than not eating enough protein... I had the same after cosmetic surgery about 4 years ago.

      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.

      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!
