mid-regrowth hairstyle help?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I had surgery in february, and 3 months after, my hair stared to fall out, as expected.

My hair has thankfully started to grow back, and I have baby hairs sprouting along my hairline and throughout my scalp.

I have long hair (almost to my waist, past my boobs), and I refuse to cut it.

I have been struggling with how to style my hair, with the short hairs along my hairline, which a couple of inches long and stick up and out, and the long hairs which are wavy and weigh down.

I used to braid my hair, or wear it in a topbun, or half braid it, etc, but I can't really do that anymore because the majority of my length is thin, and the baby hairs are too short to be incorporated into anything like that. If I do a simple braid, the braid itself is thin and pathetic, even if I massage the braid to thicken it, and the hair on my scalp is large and voluminous (being held up by the baby hairs)

I was wondering if anyone went through a similar experience and if they had any go to hair styles for those days when you just didn't wash your hair or it just doesn't look good down?

      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.

      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!
