I am at my wits end regarding the Hair loss. I have bought multiple hair pieces and have even bought a full wig. I had average hair not too thick not too thin. I'm 20 months post surgery and I am still having extreme hair loss. It has gotten so bad I have to wear 2 hair pieces and now I am having a hard time keeping them in place because I have so little hair to attach them. The worst part is I have only lost 20 pounds since surgery. I am really thinking of removing the band. I have become so depressed. If anyone has any suggestions or support stories it might lift my spirits. Like someone else said I thought it was menapause but now I don't think so, I am convinced it is the band.

Please help.

Thanks for the info about the Joan Rivers powder for the scalp. I'm going on QVC.Com right now to purchase it.

If anyone else has any suggestions they will be much appreciated.I'm tired of cleaning all my hair off the bathroom floor and the shower drain.

oh geez, that sounds pretty bad. I'm sorry, but I have tried everything and I have no new ideas to give. Mine did start growing back in, but I am still having hair issues myself.

don't worry. Protein Shakes and Biotin did it for me. It will grow back:smile:. I felt the same way about 4 months ago, chunks of hair were just falling off. I began increasing my Protein intake and that seem to help a lot. I know how you feel, give it time and start shakes and biotin Vitamin it really works. Good luck!

hello all!

well I am 2 years banded & have almost no hair!! I have bald spots everywhere

I have been to every specialist and no one

can tell why this is happening

I am sooooo depressed and i have tried everything.

I even see a dermatologist who gives me steriod injections into the bald spots which does help the hair grow back but them there are always new bald spots popping up!

I feel defeated at this point and guess i will have no hair at all shortly

I take Vitamins,Biotin, Protein., liquid Iron

any other suggestions besides a wig would be helpful

      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!
