So if anyone knows exactly which body chemicals change during the post op process, my doctor had said usually your bodies chemicals change and balance out in about 3 weeks and some people it takes longer.

But i have been unable to find any thing concerning these changes, i know one chemical change causes the hair loss in some and thinning of hair in others..etc....

You know Brian your surgeon or nutritionist should give you an answer to this question.

I do know that if you don't get enough Protein daily that will effect hair loss or hair thinning.

I have been taking chewable Biotin since I could take Vitamins after surgery. You get them from Twinlabs and they are called Biotin Dots.

They reason you take Vitamins and supplements is because we don't absorb the nutrients from our food because it goes through us quickly. I'm sure you know that you must take them permanently to stay healthy.

Well that's all I know.

I don't know if this helps or not but again ask the experts who deal with this everyday.

Take care.

Your body gets thrown into ketosis after surgery which may make your body smell different. This is major surgery and throws your body into a state of shock. It will eventually level out again.

      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.

      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!
