Hairloss percentages ?



Recommended Posts

Couldn't give you a number, but I had no noticable Hair loss at all......just a few strays around the house.

I am not sure of the percentage but i can personally say that i did lose some hair after the surgery.

My nutritious and medical support team warned me that this could be possible. I was told to make sure i got the adequate amount of Protein each day and i will see my hair grow back and stronger nails. Also with the help of my daily Vitamins.

I had no Hair loss at all. This could be a good poll for Alex to post.

Probably 50%. I think I have most of it back now, but not all of it.

I didn't lose much if any. The best thing you can do to prevent Hair loss (and have a successful recovery) is to get your Protein, Vitamins and Water.< /p>

I got all of my Protein every day. I took all Vitamins religiously. I did everything right; and I wasn't that lucky. I think plenty depends on genetics and while not doing things right might contribute to Hair loss, there is nothing you can do to prevent it if its going to happen to you. I think mine was more severe than a lot of people, but most people do lose some. Its pretty distressing when it happens, but it does come back.

I'm going through it right now. It's pretty significant. The below pic is from today's shower (drain fur ball + gentle combing)...this has been going on for a few weeks now. Hoping it lets up really soon. :mellow:

I didn't have Hair loss either, but when I chose surgery I resigned myself to the possibility. I think it is partly heredity but also making sure you take your Vitamins, and eat quality Protein, veggies, & plenty of good fats like avocado and cocnut and olive oil.

      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!
