hair loss is something I researched extensively prior to surgery.

Biotin is supposed to help slow it down. Best to start taking 8 weeks post op.

Are ya'll getting your Protein in?

You lose hair down to bald spots? This is not good news. Has anyone NOT experienced significant Hair loss? My nutritionist info said it happens between 4-6 months but I'm wondering how bad it is?

My nutritionist said that she sees little to no Hair loss in patients who are getting in enough Protein. Once I have my surgery, she wants me to eat around 64 grams/day (amt. is based on height/weight). She used to work in a different hospital where the bariatric surgeons didn't require Protein Shakes everyday, and she saw way more hair loss. That being said, I've heard it's definitely not permanent and will get better! :)

If you get full bald Patches (alopecia areata) you can see a dermatologist for a topical steroidal cream or even injections. Other than that, Protein, possibly some Biotin in your Multivitamin, and an increase in nutrient-dense calories will help over the long term :)

      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!
