So sorry to hear about your mother. You’ll be fine. I am 4 days post op and today was the first day I felt a little hungry. I’m not sure about the hair part (mine is already thin) but I’ll keep u posted.

fear and nervousness is common before surgeries, but you'll do fine!

Hair loss is common after weight loss surgery, but there are some people who lose very little if any hair. And for most of us, you're the only one who'll notice it. Mine started around six months out and lasted three months - and it grew back (I didn't lose very much). I can tell you that for those of us who are a year or two (or more) out, the hair loss seems so minor in the grand scheme of things. Many people worry about it when they're pre-op and early post-op (I did, too!!), but now I wonder why I wasted even one brain cell worrying about it. It seems so insignificant now in light of all the positive changes my body has gone through.

**BIG HUGS** I too loss my precious mom this past September. I’m still grieving her being gone from this earth. She knew I was going to have surgery. Which is now scheduled on the 17th. Though there’s not a day that goes by that i wishe she could be here for me. Doing EVERYTHING she could to help me be safe & heal comfortable. She also was a retired RN.... My family is very supportive but it’s nothing like your mommy... Good luck on your surgery.

Hang in there Mischa. You'll be with your mom again when its time.

For now, concentrate on doing what they tell you to do both preop and post. Most importantly, the recovery process is temporary, and will pass. You'll will do great!!

      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!
