Right there with you. It's part of the process. It will stop. It sucks though.

Very, very temporary. Just remember a few months of hair loss is just a tiny part of the rest of your life.

Keep up with your Protein and Vitamins and might look into taking Biotin (if your current Vitamin doesn't contain it) to help with the Hair loss.< /p>

I already have a bald spot on top of my head before surgery. I'm looking into wigs when my hair loss starts. Wigs could be fun! Different colors and styles depending on your mood!

Stressing about it will only increase what you lose. The body is stressed out and the hair is going to fall. Biotin 10,000 mcg a day. I bought http://www.puritan.com/puritans-pride-brand-0102/healthy-hair-formula-with-biotin-10000-mcg-050951?scid=34618 and it is super low priced and quality stuff.

One of the seminars I went to the speaker said she was so difficient that she had a iron/protein drip after she had a blood test and it was determined that she was not getting enough Protein ....see your doctor have them do a blood test get a drip ...you are deficient.

It's part of the process for many of us unfortunately.

The best thing you can do is focus on getting in all of your Protein and Water and taking all of your Vitamins and supplements.

You could also talk to your hairdresser about a new cut or style to help you through this time.

I just chopped my hair again (layered it) to offset the thinning. It seems to have slowed (7months post) in the last month (so has the weight loss, unfortunately). I was losing 10-12 a month now its MAYBE half of that :( but that's okay - I am still "working it".

YLLUZ it's happening to me too....I was sleeved the same day as you and it started coming out in October. It's totally thinned in the front...I'm trying to get all my Protein in and ride it out! Hopefully it stops soon. I feel your pain!

There is hope! I already had fine, thin hair and lost a ton. I'm 13+ months out and all my new growth is about 4 inches long. It looked hilarious so my sister blended it all in. I am keeping it short until my new growth catches up.

I haven't had surgery yet, but when I first started rapidly gaining weight a few years back I had some rough hair loss. I had great success tackling it with this product, phytocane, that they sell at sephora. Plus it smells great. After one cycle of use my hair stylist and I started to see all the baby hairs popping up and filling in.

I did two full cycles and one maintenance cycle. You rub it onto your scalp after showering and before styling.

      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!
