Hello Everyone!

I'm almost 5 months post op and the Hair loss is REAL! Anyone have any tricks to slowing it down or something they did that helped?!

I'm about to start taking a prenatal Vitamin to see if that helps any!!! I can't take it anymore! I don't know what else to do!

I feel amazing, this hair loss is just driving me insane!

I'm with you here, I'm down 152 lbs since sept 2016. The Hair loss is so bad I hate washing my hair because it's just massive amount of hair loss every time. I'm taking Biotin now, every other day, I have been using a biotin and Protein Shampoo and condition. Not sure how long it will take to work.

Also upped my Protein to 80-100 grams a day instead of 60-80.

I am with ya! My Dr told me this is the body's response to stress, that it is hormonal, and it will subside. When it is over I will start seeing baby hair regrown around the hairline. So....I am now being super careful brushing my hair and trying not to freak out over what comes out in the hairbrush.......

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
