No she's talking about hair loss- doesn't matter how much I work out and lift weights. Plastic surgeon said massive weight loss=excess skin. Regardless of whether u loose it from diet and exercise or wls, skin is skin :(

3 month post op. hair is falling out by the fistfuls. Am now 4 monypths and have been collecting the hair to get a sense. I now filled up a 1 gallon bag of hair, also weight lifting has helped. Got rid of some flab and crested tightness

What did your hair look like when you were loosing it? Did you have obvious bald spots, were you able to hide it?? Did you cut it short or put it up to style?

Does Hair loss happen to everyone, or is there something I can do to prevent it?

      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.

        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!
