*MORE* Hair post op?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so this might be a little odd since pretty much all the posts about "hair" are about Hair loss, so far, a few weeks shy of 6 months and I haven't had any hair loss.

I have noticed *MORE* Hair or at least the appearance if more hair... body hair. Has anyone else noticed that their body hair appears to have increased? I read that it might be pore density, which sounds plausible at least, the whole, same amount of hair folicles/pores that are now closure together due to the weight loss.

Anyone else have any thoughts, insight, comments, experiences with the appearance of more body hair?

That's funny I was just telling my wife the other night "I think I am getting more hair all over" she laughed and said I was crazy!!! But you thoughts very well could be true

Weight loss causing changes in the male hormones that impact on Hair growth?

That's another potential! Reductions in estrogen from fat loss will cause the ratio of estrogen to testosterone to change.

I'll take Hair loss on my head, over a gain of body hair... any day. Thank you Matt for putting things into perspective. :lol:

Yep. That's my bet. More HGH, more testosterone and androgen production/release/conversion. Yippity dippity doo!

      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!
