Hair falling out again 13 months post op?



Recommended Posts

I did have a bit of hair loss around months 3-6, mostly on the right temple. I have been taking 20,000mg of Biotin per day for about three months and have noticed my hair thickening in every other place except that. Now I've even noticed that hair is starting to fall out from that area exclusively again. I have been wearing wigs for the last year because the bald spot looks really bad and is so noticeable; I have super fine hair to begin with.

Is this normal, and is there a way to stop it or something I can do to stimulate growth? I do the whole Nioxin thing already. I would really like to be able to have long hair again but that side of my head just doesn't grow. :( Advice?

Rubbing Jamaican Black Caster oil on my temples helped that. However I'm not sure it works on Caucasian hair. It's very thick though so I would only recommend using it at night. The problem is wearing wigs may actually be working against you since they can be hard on you temples. I would recommend finding a really good hair stylist who can work with your hair.

Boot on helps re grow but Protein and zinc can help prevent losing. I was told to suspect deficiency if Hair loss goes on at one year post op. Hoswver, what you describe really does sound like rubbing since in one spot.

Getting in more than 80g of Protein a day. I have had multiple hair dressers say Hair loss is from lack of protein on the "inside." Keep taking all your Vitamins, and stay hydrated.

Lumpy, how much Protein do you think you're getting in daily?

Lumpy, I think you should see a dermatologist. Hair loss in one spot could be some other form of alopecia, and may or may not be related to weight loss.

      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!
