Hair Loss After Surgery



Recommended Posts

You mean like Jamie Lee Curtis in those yogurt commercials? Not my taste. Nope.

As a guy, I have always liked women with long hair and love the fact that my wife has flowing long beautiful hair. She of course can decide to chop it off as it is her choice first and foremost, but I would not like it and it would take a long time for me to adjust to it being short.

Just saying, the change from long to pixie would be pretty big for you and are you sure? I have always seen a women's long, flowing and beautiful hair as an asset. I guess do what is right for you and makes you feel the best.

Nooo... not like that. Umm.... I can't really think of a famous person who has the cut I want, unless you're familiar wit the latest Battlestar Galatica? The character Starbuck at one point in the show has her hair cut exactly like I want. Its a longer pixie cut. And I love long hair, like I said, I've always had it. I've also always used to to hide behind. And when I rach goal weight, I want to experience short hair at least once, while my confidence is flying high.

Besides, I'm not out to impress anyone but myself.... and maybe my fiance, but he supports me no matter what. :)

hi Everyone!

My name is Kelsey, I'm 10 years out from RNY, and have lost over 256 pounds. I went through pretty intense hairloss myself - probably about 60%. It did eventually grow back, but not the same as it was before. I created a video about it on my YouTube Channel if you'd be interested in checking it out,

Your hair will come back -- be patient, take your Vitamins, get in your Protein and have faith :)

Holy necro-thread revival. Do you realize you just bumped a +5 year old thread to pimp your youtube channel?

Here is a list of 72 theads within the last year that would more sense to push your channel on.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
