Losing my hair



Recommended Posts

Are any of you losing your hair? Mine seems to be coming out lately. When I shower and wash my hair, I have to clean hair out of the drain 3-4 times, quite a bit of hair each time. And my hair is short!! Help!! Does anyone know if this is caused by lapband surgery? Or does losing weight cause this? Or maybe I'm lacking something in my diet? I've lost 34 lbs. since my surgery on Aug. 25, 2004. I've had one fill of 1.2cc. Any help or advice would really be appreciated.

There's been a lot of discussion on this board about what causes this. Some say a lack of Protein, some say that's not it. Some think it's a Vitamin deficiency. It's happened to me too, and I'm 16 months out from surgery. My hair is much thinner now than when I started. I don't know what causes it. I'm about ready for Rogaine.

hi, sub3

i posted a similar question. i was worried too, and they reply, was very encouraging. they said, food , you need to eat Protein, shakes, your Protein Shakes and vitmans,

since you'll be eating small portions, you'll need to keep health, or your body healthly and fit. be careful. their are more reasons,too but, for now, these made sence to me..

you'll soon see new growth, stay healthly,

best of health,

      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!
