About a weeks worth of hair loss. My husband made me flush it. I didn't want to part with it but it so easily parted with me :'(

Anyone else collect hair balls?

LMFAO

At 4 months mine started coming out like crazy!

And it lasted until recently (almost 6 months)

When I put my hair in a ponytail or up there is so much less of it! But it has slowed way down now do I'm hopeful it will come back at some point :)

I collect hairballs on a daily basis at 4 months out. I have always been a shedder, but right now it's like that post-partum Hair loss I dealt with 8 years ago. Not fun.

I am losing so much that I am going to cut it all off. Living with short or bald is better than the horror of a hairball like that coming out every day. My hair was long healthy and with beautiful goldilocks. It will grow back. I have an emotional breakdown every time I brush or shower and gather up the hair to throw it away. I need to remove the torment and I know it will grow back later

Different and super dull.

My hair is almost to my waist so the hair balls are more like hair meteors. I try not looking at what I pull out of my brush.

This too will pass.. Yep. ;D

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
