I Guys I'm so happy with everything except that I'm having a big issue with my hair. It is falling progressively and I see holes on my scalp. I'm getting my Protein Vitamins and Water in. Why is this happening does it ever stop? What to do?

PS. I meant to say HAIR sorry

Yes. Try Biotin. I was losing a lot of hair too until I started taking it. Now I'm back to my normal hair shedding.

It will stop and you will be thin and healthy!!! Mine started at 3 months and ended at 9. It has all grown back and is just as healthy as ever...but now I am thin.

My Doctor said that abnormal hair loss is a possible side effect of the surgery due to the trauma and stress your body undergoes. He also said that it's just a passing thing and would be fine in a matter of a few months.

Hopefully it will pass soon for you.

It's because surgery is a shock to your system. If you do a thread search up at the top right, under search forum and put in hair loss, there is a lot of information on this.

It usually starts around month 4, gets better around month 9 and stops at a year. For some lucky people, it doesn't last as long.

You can take Biotin all kinds of hair and nail Vitamins, get more Protein, etc, but it will stop when it wants to.

      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!!
