I'm 6 months out and having the same problem. I take my Vitamins and Biotin. I heard it can last 3-6 months. It sucks for sure I wish mine would stop also.

I hear ya ... I'm not too happy. I knew it was going to happen but didn't realize how bad it could get.

Oh my! 2.5 months out and today in the shower I got the most ever. Then drying my hair and of course just when I run through my hair with my hands!! I use Shampoo and conditioner that's supposed to help but it does not.

I use Biotin, take my Vitamins, and get at least 65+ G Protein daily. This is gonna suck!

I am about 14 weeeks out and started Hair loss at 12 weeks. I was sleeved almost six years ago and that's exactly when it started then too but only lasted about a month then stopped.

generally Hair loss happens if you are not getting enough Protein. Everyone I know swears by the biotin... but just remember you are not going to absorb the full dose. I am little over 2 months since my surgery and my hair is not falling out. There are so many different factors that go into the hair loss aspect. But hair is not a big deal to me. if i go bald they make really cute wigs. NOT having to shop at lane byrant is so worth having to snake my drains.

Mine didn't start right away. Maybe took 2-3 months before it started falling out. Hair loss is common after any surgery anyways but this is excessive and I thought it was supposed to stop around 6 months and it's 7 and still coming out.
The Biotin will work for growing new hair but idk what to do about keeping it from falling out. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am 6 1/2 months post op.. hair it is falling, even talking Biotin and protein..

Is not much, or noticeable since I have lots of hair, but shower does not lie...

I have to do a bit of clean up every time ... I thin should stop by 8th month or year, once you have more nutrients intake..

I hope your Hair loss is not dramatic.. best of luck

      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!
