Hair Loss After Surgery



Recommended Posts

You mean like Jamie Lee Curtis in those yogurt commercials? Not my taste. Nope.

As a guy, I have always liked women with long hair and love the fact that my wife has flowing long beautiful hair. She of course can decide to chop it off as it is her choice first and foremost, but I would not like it and it would take a long time for me to adjust to it being short.

Just saying, the change from long to pixie would be pretty big for you and are you sure? I have always seen a women's long, flowing and beautiful hair as an asset. I guess do what is right for you and makes you feel the best.

Nooo... not like that. Umm.... I can't really think of a famous person who has the cut I want, unless you're familiar wit the latest Battlestar Galatica? The character Starbuck at one point in the show has her hair cut exactly like I want. Its a longer pixie cut. And I love long hair, like I said, I've always had it. I've also always used to to hide behind. And when I rach goal weight, I want to experience short hair at least once, while my confidence is flying high.

Besides, I'm not out to impress anyone but myself.... and maybe my fiance, but he supports me no matter what. :)

hi Everyone!

My name is Kelsey, I'm 10 years out from RNY, and have lost over 256 pounds. I went through pretty intense hairloss myself - probably about 60%. It did eventually grow back, but not the same as it was before. I created a video about it on my YouTube Channel if you'd be interested in checking it out,

Your hair will come back -- be patient, take your Vitamins, get in your Protein and have faith :)

Holy necro-thread revival. Do you realize you just bumped a +5 year old thread to pimp your youtube channel?

Here is a list of 72 theads within the last year that would more sense to push your channel on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
