My hair is really falling out now. Thank God I have a lot of hair. Has anyone tried something that works for them to keep it from falling out so much. I'm still having 2 Protein Shakes a day just because I like them and all my Vitamins.< /p>

I've tried it all. . .biotin, collagen, prenatal, fish oil, special shampoos, not washing, not styling . . .hair loss is inevitable, according to my dr, no matter what you do. Good news...it does stop eventually....I just hope it is soon! Good luck to all of us experiencing it!

I had my sleeve may 20th and in the past three weeks my hair has really been falling out. I have a lot of hair so I'm hoping it won't be to bad, and everything I'm reading says it should only last up to 3 months. I'm hoping for sooner! Good luck

I could make a wig from the hair that falls out every time I get out if the shower!! I am hoping that it slows down soon. I too had thick hair so it is not too noticeable, but it scares me to see all that come out of my head .... That and my hair is everywhere lol

I was having the same issue. I was sleeved in April and by July I too was leaving a trail of hair. When I showered it would come out in my hands and every time I brushed I got a brush-full of hair. I was to the point of panicking I might go bald I just did all the dr said( Biotin twice a day upped my Protein ) and tried to keep it braided brushing the least amt possible and washing it less. He said I'd see a difference in about three months and I have. It still is coming out a bit but not in the bulk that it was. I think me stressing about it was making it even worse so I avoided thinking about it(hence the braid, lol). Don't worry. It does get better. ;-)

I agree with the previos posters, there is noyhing you can do. It inevitably hapens to 99.9% of us sleevers (I've read a couple posts reporting no hair loss). Just follow your doctors nutritional and supplemental orders.

Mine is thinning but I keep it braided a lot. I am almost 6 months out. :-) But from what I have read it will grow back.

      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!
