hair question



Recommended Posts

I have read many things on people losing their hair-but i had a question to the ladies.

I am getting a single process color today and i wanted to get highlights tomorrow I have had no Hair loss issues

yet and am 3 weeks post surgery.

Any advice if you think if i have these 2 things done that it could cause hair loss?

I am just over 6 months out and have my hair processed (colored/highlights) every 6-8 weeks. Hair loss for me started at 3-3.5 months and stopped about 5 months. Getting hair colored/processed had no effects on the falling out process...

And I just lost fullness/thickness not chunks of hair...only I could tell when brushing/washing/styling etc...it's now got the short 'whispys' where hair re growth is happening.

Keep open communication with your stylist as he/she should have experience in hair loss and can give you tips and recommendations for styling to minimize the look of hair loss, products and Vitamins to help etc.

Good luck and don't worry too much!

I've not colored my hair ever, so not sure about that part. But, I started losing hair around 4 months out and it lasted until 9 months out.

I have thin hair due to thyroid issues, I am so afraid I will loose more. I have started taking Biotin now before my surgery(7/22/13) to build up my hair. I'm hoping this is a good move for my advanced planning :P

I had my hair colored a few months out and it didnt seem to be a problem. I started losing hair about 5 months out and it slowed down around 7 months but I am left with a large patch on the back top part of my head (which is normally pretty thin anyway) that is barely covered with hair. I have started having to wear my hair up in order to cover the spot. Like I said, my hair has always been extremely thin and baby fine. Going to have to think about getting a new style to work around that area. I hope your new "DO" looks great to match the new "YOU"~

I am 1 year post op and I'm still losing hair. I know I don't get enough Protein as I struggle to get enough liquids and food in each day. I take Biotin daily to help slow down the Hair loss but am wondering if its ever going to stop.

I just completed my 4th month post-op and really noticed in the last week that it's shedding bad. But, I go into shedding this time of year anyway so I'm hoping it won't be bad!

      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!
