Hair loss 1 year out



Recommended Posts

Hi guys my wife had the op exactly a year ago and her hair has thinned massively. Anyone else experienced this? Also please let us know what to do to revert this. She's using 5,000 Biotin tablets. Thanks

I lost hair from five months for 11/2 years. Biotin was a waste of money. Tell her to invest in a nice wig and endure it because I tried everything and nothing worked except a great wig.

I have a friend who is a hairdresser and she has seen her clients do very well with both Rogain and the Nioxin products.

My dermatologist just gave me Nutrafol. I may be crazy but in less than a week it seems like I am not shedding as much.

I have been told that once you use Rogaine you cannot stop. That deterred me.

I used rogaine after my band surgery. Did it for about a year and stopped. I was fine. It probably depends on the why of the hair loss. For rogaine to work you need to keep using it. I just didn't need to after a while

I am almost a year out. I had a lot of hair loss from 5th to 9th months. I have not used any hair products and this is what my hair looks like now. The texture is more dry and brittle. I still refuse to cut it short.

My surgeon told me that if I get all my Protein in daily and my Vitamins I shouldn't lose my hair, but if I started to notice Hair loss to take Biotin, Zinc and Omega 3 everyday.

      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!
