Should I cut my hair? (Hair Loss)



Recommended Posts

I too have lost a lot of hair. I have fine hair in the first place, and surgery has not helped.

I do use the wet brush. I love it! I also only wash my hair twice a week. Dry Shampoo is my friend. I have an appointment Friday for hair extensions. I am hopeful I have enough hair to do extensions for six months or so. I also am hopeful that they will not do any harm to what hair I have left. I guess I will see on Friday. Wish me luck!

I bit the bullet and had mine cut two days ago.
I got my extensions out 4 weeks ago for a neck/face lift.
A week later my hair started coming out in hand fulls (right about the 4 month sleeve post op mark). I’ll try to post a before and after cut. The before will be without extensions or Neck lift! :). The after will be The day of cut and 4 weeks after neck lift. :)

You look so nice! The haircut suits you, and the lift is fantastic. You don't look different or pulled tight, you look younger and fresher, like you got a few nights of perfect sleep and just went on a spa vacation. Your surgeon is excellent. Great thing to treat yourself to after working hard to lose the weight.

@Swanton_Bomb Thank you so much! I specifically asked my surgeon not to turn back time. I just wanted the turkey neck tightened and the jowls lifted. Basically a lift from the nose line down. He, did, however, need to lift everything up lightly to accomplish this.  I am so pleased that he left me looking like me with my many of my wrinkles. I still look like a lady of 53. Just a less flappy version.

@FluffyChix. My facial surgeon is Dr. Jordan Rihani of FacialPlasticSurguryInstitute.com located in Southlake, Fort Worth and Keller. If he’s not local for folks, he’s certainly worth traveling. His staff and facilities are outstanding.

      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! 😞
