I dodged the lapband Hair loss bullet, but I started losing my hair about a month or so ago, not from the band, but from an ovarian cyst. I was turning into an ape with all the extra hormones and pills and now that I've had the cyst removed and am off the pills, poof, hair is coming out. I am told it will go on for a couple more months, or so. I have thick hair, so I hope it will stop before it gets bad. I also want to know why the hair only falls out of your head and not your legs or face or anywhere else.

Im right around the 4 month mark and my hair has been falling out more. I'm upping my Protein, taking Biotin and it was recommended that I switch to a more easily assorbed multi. So I'm hoping this will stop the Hair loss. I've also noticed that my energy is down, weight loss has tapered and my depression and anxiety is not under control as before. So I'm hoping this is all related.

      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!!
