pattij106

pattij106 this has been happening to me. I've now added silicea to my supplements list which helps generate growth and my hair dresser has advised me to use sulphate free Shampoo. I've found the shampoo to dry my hair out a bit but the silicea has definitely helped.
Good luck...

Someone told me Biotin but I'm only 3 weeks out so I don't know if it works or not but figured it wouldn't hurt

Biotin will help promote new growth but won't stop it falling out. Many WLS patients do see Hair loss, sometime substantial. ???? some times it lasts a few months sometimes longer. No easy way to get it to stop. a lot of women opt for a short hair cut during this time. Good luck.

You hair falls out in cycles. Any type of stress can make your hair fall out. This is call telogen effluvium. I have hypothyroidism and my hair has gone through this many times when I have been low. I also went through this with my 3 pregnancies, gastric bypass and now lap band. Here is what you need to do:
Take about 1000th of Biotin
Take 500mg (2x's a day) of Evening Primrose Oil
Make sure you are getting your Protein in.
Take your B12, b6,and b5
B Vitamins are essential for your hair.
I am not a doctor or nurse, but I havev researched this subject because of my situation.

I've always Been a stomach sleeper. I got sleeved on June 1st & I'm still sleeping in a recliner. The pain is terrible if I go on my side/stomach. ????

I too am a stomach sleeper and only had to go about a week before I could sleep on my stomach again. I found sleeping on my side with a pillow next to my stomach really helped.
Hope you are sleeping soundly again soon!

My incisions feel fine... I think I have a high tolerance for pain maybe.

I was banded on Monday 6/15 and still can't sleep on my stomach. I just started sleeping on my left side so hopefully stomach sleeping is next.

Protein Shakes will not give you the satiety you need. You need to eat food, not drink your meals. Can I suggest you try what I did? I followed a weight watchers type of plan. I ate 3 oz. Protein, 1/2 cup of veggies and 1/4 cup of carbs for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was often a packet of cream of wheat or oatmeal. eggs once in a while as well. I tried to stay at around 1,100 calories daily. By following this basic plan, I lost over 150 lbs.

Hi, I was banded on the 17th April. I still have that pain every now and then, been told it's still trapped wind. It will get easier.

I just had mine on June 11th and am going through the same thing. I can hardly get Water down and when I do I get a spasm that hurts. Not to mention the awful gas build up. I'm sure it is all part of the healing process, I just want to get past this part. I will be interested to hear what others have to say about it. When will we start feeling better?
