I've learned here that many of sleevers have experienced sort of hair lose. How can I avoid it. I'll appreciate your advise.

As I have heard there is not much you can do to avoid it. It either happens to you or not. I am 5 months out and my hair is thinning, everyone in my support group suffered some degree of Hair loss, all of them said it came back. I also heard that taking Biotin can help. I have not tried that yet.

My hair is thinner but so far no Hair loss, I don't want to jinx it, but it hasn't happened! Since I got home I am taking cod liver oil capsules, one per day every single morning. I don't know why but I am convinced this is helping me a lot.

I don't think there's a guaranteed way to avoid hair loss; I read somewhere that 30% keep all their hair and the other 70% experience varying amounts of loss. Mine is coming out a lot, but I don't care, I would rather be thin with thin hair than fat with thick hair. Besides, it grows back.

I have yet to actually meet anyone who has not lost hair post sleeve. However, I have met people with extra thick hair who didn't mind losing half their hair. That was not the case with me. My hair was thin to begin with, and just got worse, and worse. It has finally stopped coming out like crazy. I know it will eventually grow back. For now, I'm happy with my extensions :)

I used Noixon Shampoo and it didn't do a thing. I got in all my Protein and took every Vitamin under the sun that was supposed to be for hair. I've been taking Biotin for 5 years.

I lost 2/3 of my hair because I lost it with both the band and sleeve. It's growing in now, and I have little short hairs all over my head.

      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!
