**Sniffle**, just went natural for my hair to start growing thinking shoulder length should be nice but after a whole year, it's now down my back and I am not looking forward to the shedding part....ugh but at least, it stops and hopefully regrows fully!!

Hey Molly, it has been a couple more months since this post. How is the hair situation? I'm just over 5 months and some days I think it might be getting better, but not really sure. Partly because I cut most of it off the last time I went to my hairdresser so it's not as noticeable as when I had the long hair. I sure hope it stops soon! I want to grow it out again!!

I too am horrified by the gobs of hair that Im losing on a daily basis. Im 5 months post sleeve and have been noticing Hair loss for the past several weeks. Ive been careful to take all Vitamins associated with keeping hair in good health, but I think there is probably nothing that can prevent the loss of hair when we lose so much weight so rapidly. Still… hard to cope with.

I was shedding like crazy starting with month 3 post op but then by around month 6 it slowed significantly and then by month 8 or so I think its back to normal. My theory on this is to really monitor and focus on Protein intake. And keep in mind that there is a time lag between when you start eating alot of Protein and when you seen results. I think thats why hair loss only starts around month 3 for most people. So if you up protein then it might take 2 to 3 months before you see improvement.

      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!
