Finally I have my hair back!



Recommended Posts

After 15 months of starting at a place of being completely bald because of my hair all falling out due to complications with my surgery. Today I washed my hair and guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was able to gather my hair up on the top of my head and squeeze the excess Water out of it....And the water trickled down my neck...

It felt so strange to say the least....It felt so strange that I noticed it right away.....I am so happy I am not looking at my scalp any longer. It has all filled back in.....I was worried it would never really totally come back, but it did....

The only thing is it is wavy and not straight anymore...i can live with that guys.....oh happy day!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I am truly happy for you, honey. I await the same sense of relief :) xx

Revs hun..my hair is like yours. fine and really soft...it is back with a vengeance...yours will come too. the worrying about it not coming back was fruitless...When I got out of the hospital they actually offered me a hat that cancer patients wear....I cried like a baby.......

I loved my long blond hair....And it was gone. So I know your frustration. I know it will be in its full glory soon Revs. ;)

Oh, what good news RJ! I am so happy for you. I was born with curly red hair, and I am hoping it will come back curly - although at 62, it will probably come in some shade of gray or white. That's Ok. I am coming up on three months post-op, so I am aware that it could start falling any time. Thanks for the encouragement. It is the feature I like most about this forum - that someone has already gone through some fearsome thing someone else has coming up, and can hold their hand through it.
Happy Happy Joy Joy for you. :)

      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!
