Hey WLS Fam... I'm 6 days pre op and I'm hearing a lot about how your hair thins out. Please tell me about your experience right after surgery? How did you handle it?

I'm still pre-op too, but I've been using the Garnier Fall Fight Shampoo and can tell its helping with Hair loss. I got the tip from a friend who is a few months post-op and has significantly slowed the hair loss with the shampoo.

I'm 5-1/2 months post op and have had very little hair loss. I take Biotin every day and use anti breakage Shampoo.< /div>

I take Biotin too. How many mg or IU's do you take and when after surgery did you start taking them.

I'm almost four months out and have taken Biotin everyday. I also use Wen. I was taking 5000 mcg but I stepped up to 10000 mcg. Good luck

Oh and the MOST important thing is keeping your Protein up. When I have days I want to give up or say screw it, my hair keeps me motivated to get it in.

Using goid products helps. Dont go cheap with your hair care. Get hair cut often and use treatments and your hair will look great even if a few,strands go. I lost some hair. It came back. No worries. I have never taken.special Vitamins for hair. My nut says that is a farse. We will all lose a little but it comes 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!
