Please Let The Hair Loss Stop!



Recommended Posts

I thought that if mine started to fall out it wouldn't impact me emotionally- but it is freaking me out! There is so much! I have a ton of hair, but it's kind of embarrassing at work I feel like I'm covered in it! I've been taking Biotin since like week 2, eating Protein, and thought since I wasn't losing super fast it wouldn't happen to me. But it is, and it sucks. I'm 3.5 months out... so I'm looking at another 2.5 months? Is that the consensus? It stops around month 6? Ughhhhhh. Thanks for letting me complain without reminding me that I did this to myself.

I feel the exact same way! This weekend I cut about 6 inches off. I'm hoping this will help as I was shedding every where I went!

I have posted this before but here it goes. I am using Revita Shampoo and conditioner. This will not stop loss but it is a follicle stimulator that causes regrowth quicker and stimulates follicles that haven't grown hair in a long time. My stylist told me about it and I have been using it for about 2 months now. I went to him a couple of weeks ago and had him check my head for regrowth and it is all over the place including areas that were thin before the surgery. This stuff is working for me and I am going to continue using it. You can buy it on Amazon for about $35.00 for both shampoo and conditioner. I figured if I am losing I can grow at the same time and it is working. Good luck to all of you. :)

Quick question, does your head itch at all from the regrowth? Just curious :)

No not at all. I wondered if that would be a side affect but nothing happened just new hair growth. :)

Wow, this is definitely not what I wanted to hear. I am pre surgery and I really do not want to lose any of my hair but I suppose I will have to make a choice...lose weight/lose hair VS keep hair/keep weight. I know I want the weight gone... I will learn to adjust.

<p>Ugh! I'm not quite up to 3 months out yet, and my hair loss it terrible!!! I lose handfulls every time I wash, brush, or even comb my fingers through my hair! I was blessed to have really thick hair, so it's not noticeable yet. But, I am fearful every day that I'm going to wake up with a bald spot! Am taking Biotin and my doctor friend suggested eating concentrated Jello for the Gelatin. Anyone else heard of that?</p>

Yes. Make the Jello as directed, but instead of putting it in the fridge to set drink it!

7 months out and still losing hair... i have cut it shorter and am trying different styles to cover the gaps. But have started looking at ways of supplementing my hair.< /p>

We have a place called Lucinda Ellery and they provide hair filling services for women losing hair. The results are amazing but not cheap. But am getting close to a consultation if this continues....

      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!
