I'm 5 months and 's it's bad. Attended a support group meeting today at Cleveland clinic

Nutriotist warned patients not to take massive amounts of Biotin. I won't use it at all because it will increase facial hair.

I've only heard of taking massive amounts of Biotin even before the surgery to help prevent it. I am not looking forward to it either~ hopefully my efforts pay off and it won't happen as drastically with all the Biotin I've been taking!

I was told to not take more than the recommended amount as a supplement and then there is some in the multi Vitamin because you can only absorb so much and the rest of the excess is in your urine..

I have an appointment to get my hair cut and bleached to look fuller, I take a huge amount of Biotin and I use the Biotin Shampoo but my hair is starting to fall out. Sometimes lighter hair colors and shorter hair can help to hide the loss.

This is extremely worrisome for me. My hair is already VERY thin. I already made the choice to go "short" and work a comb over. Yes, a female with a comb over. I'm truly afraid of going completely bald. I haven't had surgery yet. Maybe I should start looking into scarfs. Wigs are really expensive!

      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!
