I use Nioxxin hair products to help with preventing Hair loss. It was designed to help cancer patients regrow their hair after chemo. Once I started using it, my hair stopped falling out and my hair grew back healthy. I continue using it now even though my hair is stable just to keep healthy what I have.

I am 7 months post-op. My hair was falling out really bad. I started taking the Biotin and it helped a little but not as much as I had hoped. Recently i notcied when i wash with cool Water it isnt as bad and since I started to drink alot of green tea it seems to be better.

I am happy to report, it does get better! I started losing hair at 3 months and it has started to slow down to the point I'm not concerned anymore. I can see little hairs about 1/2 - 1 inch long causing a halo all over my head. I'll likely end up cutting it but for now it's still mid back. I wear it loose in a claw (clasp thing) and do as little as possible to it.

This root concealer helped/helps give the illusion of having more hair. There are many other's like this out there.

I have been losing hair for moths already, I just had my surgery last week. It was the pre-op diet. Biotin does nothing according to my doctor, makes sense I had been taking it for years and my hair still fell out. One of the Kaiser doc's said it's Vitiman A that helps with Hair growth, and that is in our multi Vitamins. I don't think there is much that can be done unfortunately :( I found this great hair powder online at QVC the Joan Rivers Beauty line, Great Hair Day, it's only $33 including shipping and lasts forever. I have dark brown hair and use the Blonde color. It's a powder that you brush on your clean scalp, it stays until you wash it out. Makes the bald spots look like hair

What's your question? I'm not sure if I understood it.... do you mean you went for years without having a period, and then you had your period after surgery? This happen to me

@@gerbrared,

It’s normal, unfortunately! Luckily, it will come back, eventually. The things you can try to do to minimize it include getting enough Protein and taking Biotin if you’re not already. Biotin is a B Vitamin, and yes, you can take it after surgery, and no, it’s not easy to overdose on it! Unfortunately, you can’t always get hair loss to stop even if you’re doing everything right. Just know that it’s normal and it’ll stop eventually.

      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.

        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!
