Sick all the time and hair loss



Recommended Posts

I lost some hair but it wasn't a huge deal for me because I had lost a lot of hair already before surgery. So, I knew how to deal with Hair loss. I haven't ever felt sick since surgery other than a couple of times accidentally eating too much, and I got a cold once last year. My health is terrific and I feel great.

Never sick.

hair grew back faster than it fell out. And I don't even care about the hair to be honest. I wear wigs and weave anyway because that is the current trend.

How do you define sick? I haven't gotten any viruses since surgery. Sometimes I ate things that didn't agree with my sleeve and I felt unwell for a while but learned from my mistakes. I lost quite a bit of hair but it grew back nicely.

Define sick. You are having major surgery, your stomach is being cut, there are holes cut through your abdominal wall....so there will be discomfort. To this day I occasionally get nauseated or vomit.

Most people do have some hair loss but you can help that with Protein and Vitamins. I had minimal Hair loss. But honestly the weight Ive lost would definately be worth some hair loss

I guess I am one of those who is sick. I have written about it before and have tried a variety of things to reduce my pain but nothing seems to help. Dense Proteins like egg and tuna salad, pork and cottage cheese, even if only a 1/4 cup causes me pain in my tummy. This pain last anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours. I am so tired of eating and having pain. I eat slowly and chew but still get pains. I am taking Gas X and there is no immediate relief. The only thing that seems to help is to stretch out on my bed. I see the surgeon again in July. At the 3 month mark he told me that was my signal that I was full. I seriously doubt that 1/4 cup of cottage cheese makes my tummy that full. Because of this pain issue I have reverted back to using Protein Soups and drinks and only eating 1 meal of dense Protein.

@@ssflbelle Have they done an endoscopy to see if you might have a stricture?

Nope I have had nothing done since surgery in Jan. I don't even know what an endoscope and stricture are?

You need to get an appointment with your surgeon. You should not still feel this bad. Please call ASAP and hopefully they'll figure out the problem.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
