I'm about 5 months out and having trouble keeping food in, and my hair is really starting to thin. Taking the highest dose of Biotin I can..any recommendations? Double the Biotin? Special Shampoo? I'm really getting embarrassed with everyone noticing :(

How much Biotin do you take? Also how much Protein? Do you massage your scalp?

I'm so sorry to hear the problem with your hair, I too am loosing mine by the fist fills, but I thought mine was do to my RA injection I have to get once a month, (it's also used as a chemo drug), the only thing I can think of is what most folks are saying make sure your eating enough Protein, I don't know what Biotin is I assume it's a multi Vitamin, you should definitely call your Dr's office & talk to someone, I been using Shampoo that thickens your hair Sauave puts out a line, it seems to help,at least it doesn't look as thin. Good luck! Peace, Mary

      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.

        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!
