Are you getting your daily Protein in? That is the #1 reason why you loose your hair after surgery. I have MIMIMUM 64 grams of protein a day. I try to get 90 but no less than 64 gr. I am 6 months post op and everything is good with my hair. I also take Biotin.< /p>

Yes and no, most days yes but some days I can't gag down any protein supplements to top me up...

I'm four months out..plus a little and I'm definitley getting my Protein in without a doubt min of 70 grams and usually 80+, wokring out, taking all my vites plus Biotin, biotin shampoo/conditioner, the works....but hair is thinning a lot! It's scary, but I kknow from others that have had the surgery that it does come back. Mine has been a little wiry feeling, but diferent conditioners are helping.

I've been losing handfuls of hair for almost a year. I've been getting treated for hypothyroidism, and now I have much less Hair loss, but it's growing in at different speeds. It's ugly. So my surgery is Tuesday, and I'm afraid I'll need to shave my head.

      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!
