I dyed my hair when I was three weeks out. I was one of the very fortunate ones that my hair did not fall out. I worked hard at keeping my Protein up and I had lots of food issues for several months. I was prepared for it to fall out since it did when I had major surgery once before.

I am four weeks post today and I just had mine died on Saturday. I had been contemplating it for weeks however I put it off only because my hair is waist length and it means sitting in a salon chair for three hours to have it completed. I was so sore that I knew I wouldn't tolerate sitting that long. They say that Hair loss starts around month 4-5, so I figured I had better enjoy my hair now just in case!!!!

You can dye your hair as long as you can stand up for awhile.

Maggie, what does standing up have to do with dying hair? I'm confused on that one.

@@AmyC65, if she's doing it herself then moving her arms up and down might hurt.

I do hair for a living and I didnt do anyone's hair till I was 6 weeks out. I did do my own right away. Just do what makes you feel comfortable.

      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!
