Should I cut my hair? (Hair Loss)



Recommended Posts

I too have lost a lot of hair. I have fine hair in the first place, and surgery has not helped.

I do use the wet brush. I love it! I also only wash my hair twice a week. Dry Shampoo is my friend. I have an appointment Friday for hair extensions. I am hopeful I have enough hair to do extensions for six months or so. I also am hopeful that they will not do any harm to what hair I have left. I guess I will see on Friday. Wish me luck!

I bit the bullet and had mine cut two days ago.
I got my extensions out 4 weeks ago for a neck/face lift.
A week later my hair started coming out in hand fulls (right about the 4 month sleeve post op mark). I’ll try to post a before and after cut. The before will be without extensions or Neck lift! :). The after will be The day of cut and 4 weeks after neck lift. :)

You look so nice! The haircut suits you, and the lift is fantastic. You don't look different or pulled tight, you look younger and fresher, like you got a few nights of perfect sleep and just went on a spa vacation. Your surgeon is excellent. Great thing to treat yourself to after working hard to lose the weight.

@Swanton_Bomb Thank you so much! I specifically asked my surgeon not to turn back time. I just wanted the turkey neck tightened and the jowls lifted. Basically a lift from the nose line down. He, did, however, need to lift everything up lightly to accomplish this.  I am so pleased that he left me looking like me with my many of my wrinkles. I still look like a lady of 53. Just a less flappy version.

@FluffyChix. My facial surgeon is Dr. Jordan Rihani of FacialPlasticSurguryInstitute.com located in Southlake, Fort Worth and Keller. If he’s not local for folks, he’s certainly worth traveling. His staff and facilities are outstanding.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
