Anyone Not Had Hair Loss?



Recommended Posts

I had a few weeks around month 5-6 where I noticed a lot of hair in brush and on my hands after putting in mousse or gel. My part started looking a little wider. But now it's not bad at all. I'm using Biologe Shampoo and conditioner (love the stuff) and it looks and feels pretty healthy.

It starts around 4 months, slows down at 9 months, and stops at about a year. There is really nothing you can do if it's going to happen.

Most of us do lose hair; some more than others. I do have a friend that was sleeved a week after me and really did not lose any hair. She is so lucky!! I lost about half of my hair, between band surgery and sleeve surgery! :(

expect it, the typical from what the nurse told me and I have experienced as many have on this board is 4 to 6 month period then possible reversal.

What helps is Biotin daily. I also use a laser comb and Ovation hair Shampoo (seems to slow the growth and makes hair fine on me but it is not coming out anymore)

For all that you hear from some here - it has really nothing to do with Protein else men would not have been losing hair since we are mostly beef eaters. It is due to a major change to body from the rapid weight loss and should change back over time.

      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.

        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!
