Hair falling out/ loose skin?



Recommended Posts

Yup :) figured it will still fall out and there will definitely be loose skin, but if we can try something to help lessen the effects vs not doing anything all, I'm going to do it. :)

I found a link regarding hair loss. I researched alot of things regarding Hair loss because I am a little vain about my hair...lol. I know that I am going to lose some hair and have noticed daily little by little it is acting up. I was apprehensive about the idea of just the wls causing hairloss so I delved deeper to find out why this happens. Appearantly there is nothing you can do about it. If your follicle cells were affected by surgery there is really no amount of Protein or Biotin you consume that will prevent hair loss in your already exisiting hair. I know the Protein and Biotin will help with the regrowth but that is all it will do. It sucks but one good thing is that it is only temporary. Anyway, I just wanted to share.

You know, I think hair loss and loose skin is probably one of my top three concerns about the surgery! But hey, we're entitled to worry about that. In my case, I've already spent years dealing with thinning hair after having to have part of my thyroid removed. I compensated with a cute, short haircut that makes my hair look waaaay thicker than it is. So there's something to consider.

I was just telling my husband, I feel like, around two or three months out from surgery, I'll look like one of those latex balloons that's been hanging around a couple of days - still round, but not as big as before and kinda wrinkly. :)

      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'. ???

        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!
