Hello my surgery date is Nov 10, and my mom had hers done in June so we both have a few question for those of you who have had it for a few months now,

1. hair Loss, I know we are all different but wat can she take for it?

2. Pain where the cord is, my mom lost a lot of weight so the cord is now surfaced and at first it was really hurting her, she went back to the Dr and he said that he can staple or stich the cord to a musle in near the stomach wall. Anyone else had this problem?

3. Im very super scared of not waking up after the surgery!!! anyone else have this fear? just thinking about it makes me cry!!!

Thank you everyone!!!! and Happy Halloween!!!

p.s I cant wait until next halloween so we can dress in cute sexy costumes!!!:whoo:

1. hair Loss, I know we are all different but wat can she take for it?

There's really nothing to take. It's a part of hair's lifecycle to fall out. Some people have claimed good results with Biotin or Nioxin - but if your bosy wants your hair out, it's going to come out.

2. Pain where the cord is, my mom lost a lot of weight so the cord is now surfaced and at first it was really hurting her, she went back to the Dr and he said that he can staple or stich the cord to a musle in near the stomach wall. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm not sure what you mean by cord. Do you mean a part of the band (e.g. the tubing), or your belly button, or...?

3. Im very super scared of not waking up after the surgery!!! anyone else have this fear? just thinking about it makes me cry!!!

Lots of people have this fear.

I have not been banded long but here is what I have been told and experienced.....

Hello my surgery date is Nov 10, and my mom had hers done in June so we both have a few question for those of you who have had it for a few months now,

1. hair Loss, I know we are all different but wat can she take for it? My dr. says you should not lose your hair unless you are not getting enough Vitamins and or you are dehydrated. She should call her dr and they will probably give her special Vitamins.< /span>

2. Pain where the cord is, my mom lost a lot of weight so the cord is now surfaced and at first it was really hurting her, she went back to the Dr and he said that he can staple or stich the cord to a musle in near the stomach wall. Anyone else had this problem? I haven't been banded long enough

3. Im very super scared of not waking up after the surgery!!! anyone else have this fear? just thinking about it makes me cry!!! I was VERY scared of this also. I even printed out my will and living will for my folks. The truth is, it is SOOOO fast. I have not heard of anyone dying during the surgery and they do much more invasive and serious surgeries every day and it is fine! You will be fine.....

Thank you everyone!!!! and Happy Halloween!!!

p.s I cant wait until next halloween so we can dress in cute sexy costumes!!!:whoo:

      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!
