I take 5,000 mcg Biotin daily. It can't hurt. (Not sure how much it helps, though, either). Not everyone will lose hair, but a lot of us do. I cut my hair into a short pixie (because I really wanted to but wouldn't do it when I was obese) and although it is thin I definitely am not bald. It is worth it for the way I feel alive again having lost so much weight!

I take Biotin 5000 mcg daily. I always get all my Protein in, but my hair fell out pretty badly. I'm 7 months out, and it's mostly stopped, though it still comes out a little faster than before surgery. I can see lots of new growth, but I imagine it's going to another 6 months before that gets long and thick enough to do any good. My hair wasn't very thick before surgery, and I think I might have lost about 1/3 -1/2, and I'm not bald either. However, I do have some areas where my scalp shows, so I've been using Bosley fibers, which work wonders to give the appearance of thicker hair.

Mine has been falling out about a month now. I cringe every time I wash or comb it. I've taken Biotin for years.. It really does help. Just hoping this shedding phase won't last much longer!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
