I'm a week or so past my 3 mo post op. As I was warned, I am experiencing Hair loss. My hair is dropping out like crazy - I keep expecting to find total bald spots on my scalp; luckily not for now. I made sure I took over 60 mg Protein, 2000 mg Biotin & 30 mg of zinc daily trying to forestall this hair loss obviously to no avail. My question is what was your experience? How many weeks did you have hair falling out? Did you find that it grew back eventually?

I am about 3.5 months post op and losing hair. I get in all my Protein. I just cut it all off and it made me feel better! Lol!

You can take all the pills in the world and it won't stop the Hair loss. It might help minimize it some but it will fall out. I did the same as heatwhip and cut it off LOL It was easier getting nasty clumps of shorter hair than longer hair. I'm almost 5 months out and been losing it for 2 months now. Plus, every morning my scalp hurts. It feels like it's been in a tight pony tail all night.

Im 4 months out as well and I am going crazy with the hair loss! Im trying to take all the Vitamins as well amd even have a Biotin Shampoo and its just bad. My husband is ready to ban me from the shower or brushing my hair in the house. Cutting it all off sounds like a plan.

I'm having the same issue at 5 months out. It started around 3 months. I was lucky to start out with a lot of hair but I can definitely feel and see how much thinner it is now. I've been good with my Protein and taking zinc. I've been using Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner for about 6 weeks. I started Biotin yesterday. It comes out mostly in the shower and while I'm blow drying my hair! It's scary! I hope it stops soon! :)

      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'. ???

        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!
