I don't know, but I hope it ends soon. I'm into my 4th month and am losing hair by the handful. I comb it before I wash it and when I comb afterwards, it still comes out by the handful! Fortunately I have a lot of hair. I think I'm the only one that notices my hair isn't as thick as it use to be. I wonder how much more I would be losing if I wasn't taking Biotin :o

Hope your Hair loss stops soon (which could mean mine will stop soon too...hehehe)

I'm 4 mo out and my hair is doing the same. A friend who had it done last year said she went thru the same thing and it did stop. Guessing this is just a phase we go thru.

I am 9 weeks post op & started noticing the excessive Hair loss about 2 weeks ago. I heard the hair loss really kicks in about week 8 & continues for a few months. I hope it slows down as my body adjusts. Taking a sublingual b12/biotin from wonder labs.

I am losing a lot of hair as well and was told to take Biotin 10,000 mcg.. I am trying not to stress about the Hair loss but it's difficult sometimes.

I am almost 6 months out and really started noticing Hair loss about a month ago. I got Bosleys Shampoo and conditioner for viably thinning hair and rogaine for woman and my hair feels way thicker. I still notice some hair loss but NOTHING like I was seeing before.

Mine started coming out around 3.5-4 months, and kept coming out really bad for about a few weeks. I went to a dermatologist, got some cortisone injections and topical, and it slowed way down about 1-2 weeks after that. It's still coming out some, but not bad at all. Mine was not thick before this, but it's really thin now :( I'm anxious for it to start growing back....I think I see some little hairs growing in, so I'm encouraged!

My surgery isn't until July 2nd. Reading the Hair loss stories kind of freaks me out. I will tell you that I'm a hairdresser, and I've recommended Redken Intraforce hair care for my clients that have thinning hair. I've noticed a remarkable turn around for them. Worth a try. I'm going to order the liquid Biotin ASAP.

      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!
