Hey fellas, has anyone noticed a change in their facial hair since surgery?

I've had several friends ask if I dyed my goatee, and I have to admit that it seems to have a hell of a lot less gray than three weeks ago...

Anyone else see any changes? Thickness, ability to grow, etc.?

I'm having surgery Jan 17, so I can't really answer your question but I have noticed my beard has really started to go gray. I hope you are on to something!!!!

I had the same thing, people commented that it looked fuller, thicker, longer... but what I finally deduced was the fact that my hair follicles are just closer together now than they were when my face was puffy. Same thing with my legs, arms, back, stomach... getting the idea?

I feel hairy as sh!t now.

Lol my wife is going to love that. The ten hairs on my back that bug her now are going to seem like a sweater.

They seemed thicker at first but now I'm going through the Hair loss phase and I'm losing it everywhere. I usually wear a white button up shirt for work and I've noticed my mustache and beard hair on my shirt on days that I haven't shaved. My wife also noticed that I'm losing hair in other parts of my body as well.

Sorry dudes, dudette here... I briefly pause this thread for a PSA that might help you and give you a point if reference from which to Google and research.

hair growth or lack of it is often a sign of hormone imbalance. And being overweight can cause issues. For males it is not enough teststoserone. For females it is too much.

I have to shave my gobble aka waddle daily and am looking forward to hopefully seeing less facial Hair growth as my body's hormone levels normalize.

I would expect the same to happen with men. Possible Hair loss in the male pattern baldness and more body hair as you lose weight and your hormones balance out.

You of course will have to go thru that after surgery phase of losing hair. And right before that happens as the hair follicle becomes closer to the skin before falling out, it too will give an appearance of thicker or fuller hair as well.

Just something to think about.

Haven't seen a change in my hair since my surgery, around three months ago. Haven't been losing any, but I still have the same amount of grey that I always had!

I already had a beard before the surgery, but indeed I have noticed that I have to trim it way more often nowadays, after a few days without trimming it starts looking pretty thick and messy.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
