Right On Schedule.....i'm Losing My Hair!



Recommended Posts

Yeah, yeah......I expected it. After all, I lost my hair when I had Band surgery too (and I'm not really sure it all grew back.) About a week ago (exactly 3 months and 5 days after surgery) I got a handful of hair as I rinsed out my Shampoo. Every day since, I've left behind a clump of hair in the shower and even more on the bathroom floor as I blow-dry!

On the bright side, I'm down 33 pounds - halfway to my goal! I feel great. I'm exercising. I fit in a size 14. Life is good. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go sweep my bathroom floor.............

WOW.....I do not have a handfull of hair to lose. I never really noticed any change when I had my lapband and I lost around 90 pounds with the band. I will have to watch with the sleeve that I had on Dec 11, 2011

Oh my, handfuls? Just curious did you take Biotin? Only asking because I take a HUGE Biotin pill religiously every morning hoping I can avoid hairloss. I have to cut it in fours and it literally makes me sick. Does Protein intake make any difference? Any helpful advice, please.

Good thing is that it grows back. But I know that doesn't help right now! Maybe you can try a cute new style so it wont be noticable.

      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!

      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!!
