One more question......what about Hair loss? My hair is already baby thin and I can't really afford to lose any hair!!! I'm just few days out before surgery on Monday but I have started Biotin. I tried to take fish oil too but it is giving my crazy reflux. I read that biotin doesn't stop hair loss but I don't know what else to do.

If your hair is going to fall out, it's going to fall out and really in my experience there is nothing that you can do about it. Taking at least 5000 mg of biotin will help with healthy new Hair growth but won't prevent it from happening. Nothing will prevent it. It starts around the 3 month mark. Good luck on your surgery!

I'm hoping since we're young our skin will have enough elasticity and will return to "normal"... I've had 3 c-sections so I know where my problme area will be but I'm hoping my back fat, arms and legs will return to normal.

Hi sleevers' date=' I'm new to the site. Surgery on July 22. I'm 26, 5'2", 243# and I'm worried about how my skin will do with weight loss and my boobs. Will anybody in their 20's be willing to share their experience? Thanks[/quote']

I am wondering the same thing. I turn 30 a week after my surgery( oct 22). I'm already planning for new boobs. I would love a Tummy Tuck. Two babies in 18 months will make any girl want those. Let hope everything bounces back somewhat :)

      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!
