Has anyone not lost hair?



Recommended Posts

As I've gotten older I've noticed a natural increase in Hair loss. I'm now pretty worried about it post op. I have seen posts of people having loss but most say others don't notice. Has anyone NOT experienced it???

My surgery was 12/17/12 and my hair started falling out this week. I take Biotin daily....get my required Protein in, and take a Multivitamin . I hope it stops falling out soon. Good luck.....maybe yours won't all out.

I had Hair loss at about 5 months out. Freaked out! But it lasted about 6 weeks. Doing way better...it grows back!

I am 1 yr post-op...

I started to lose hair at 6 months post op. It wasn't extreme, but I was concerned.

Thankfully it passed within a few weeks. My hair has been fine ever since!

Keep up with your Vitamins & add Biotin or "Hair, Nails & Skin" Vitamins to your routine, and you'll be fine! :)

Oh yes.... The above is 100% true! Meet or exceed your Protein goal!

If your body doesn't get that minimum amount the first thing to go is your hair!

      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!
