I take Biotin daily and have since about 2 months post op. The most important thing is to make sure you get your Protein goal daily. Mine got fairly thin on top, but it's growing back in well now.

My hair is super thin and fine now, it was long and like spiders webs, it would get so knotty and every time I brushed it, I more and more came out. I cut it up to my shoulders and had a keratin treatment. It doesn't get knotty and I don't have to damage what is left by straightening it. Haven't got any tips for avoiding the loss, but the keratin helps with what is left.

The hair loss is caused from excessive estrogen that enters your system from fat cells. I use Clear scalp therapy Shampoo and have lost no hair. But that could also be from losing slow.

Avoid: heated styling tools, sleeping with styling products in your hair, pulling it back, excessive shampooing, products containing too much wax, the list goes on.

I went to Paul Mitchell the School, if any of you have questions on prevention or styling options for thinning hair, pm me.

And remember! It'll grow back eventually!

Hi LizV-I am lucky to have thick hair but at month 4, I am seeing a lot of hair coming out in my comb when I comb or brush it each morning. I'm trying to reduce shampooing abd using styling products to avoid breakage. Question fir you, I've noticed this past week that when I remove an elastic pony tail or clip from holding my hair up all day, my scalp hurts. I've had the feeling before and you can usually rub your scalp and it quickly goes away-but lately it's so painful I can't touch my scalp/hair and it lasts a good 10 minutes. Strange! I wonder if that could be a side affect as well. Your input would be appreciated.

Your scalp is most likely sore from thinning. I know the feeling you're talking about! If you have to wear a pony try to wear it loose. The tension from the elastic can cause a lot of breakage of even healthy hair. An ice pack could help ease the soreness and it keeps the follicles stimulated :)

Holly...this could be me writing your post! Started 4 months, losing quite a bit. My only saving grace is I have tons of hair to begin with, so now I'm saving money on getting my hair thinned out, which I do twice a year... I should've started the Biotin pre-op like a lot of others did. Oh well, live & learn.

I starting losing a ton at 3 months luckily I started taking Biotin at 2 months and have had a lot of new regrowth despite the loss. My scalp has been sore for about a month and a half. It is much better when I keep it down. I also use the clear scalp Shampoo love it! But have to skip the conditionwr cuz its too much for my hair. I went two weeks ago and had some blnde foils in my dark brown hair and it helps disguise the thin spots perfectly. I continue to take the biotin and have hope from all the spiking hair along my hairline from new growth. Hopefully I am through the worse at 4.5 mnths

      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!
