I had surgery on 8/25 and now 3 months later, my hair is falling out like I'm on chemo....ltons of long strands from the root are falling out daily. The doctor told me yesterday that no Biotin or Vitamins are going to help. She said it is going to get very very thin and suggested I cut my hair! I cried. I have long, thick hair, and am praying that I don't go bald. I just ordered the Keranique serum, and am hoping it helps. Any suggestions would be welcome......

if you're going to lose it, you're going to lose it - there's really nothing that will stop it. But keeping on top of your Protein and Vitamins will probably keep it from getting any worse than it is. The good news is, it's temporary. It'll all grow back. And with most people, you're the only one who will notice it.

Lady Rogaine. I'm using it as a precaution cause I know mine's gonna thin horribly. Has after surgeries in the past. Does grow back, though. Also...Paul Mitchell anti-thinning Shampoo helps.

I'm 6 months out and have a lot of long thick hair- it's now falling out in handfuls but I'm told if I use Biotin and make sure I'm getting enough Protein it will stop. Also I was told today that I should mix my Shampoo with apple cider vinegar so I'm going to give it a shot

I'm so sorry about your hair. Hopefully you'll be the only one to notice. And if anyone else does notice, screw 'me, it's not their concern.

My nutritionist told me to stay up with the Protein to help prevent Hair loss. I'm taking Biotin too, though, and I've been using good Shampoo and conditioner (I prefer Aveda) to help keep what hair I do have in good shape. Oh, and I'm crossing my fingers. That might help most of all.

Thank you everyone. I will keep everyone posted as I go thru the Journey and will post if the Keranique works. I have been taking mega Vitamins and Biotin since long before surgery and it is not helping. Also, this isnt my first surgery. I never had this type of Hair loss with my other surgeries . My husband has not noticed and is a gem - he has male patterned baldness and said we can get matching hats. hahahaha Love him

      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.

        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!
