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. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
