Will I Go COMPLETELY Bald?!



Recommended Posts

I started loosing hair at 2-3 months after my surgery. It lasted for 2 months, and was mostly in the front part of my head (bangs). It has really slowed down alot now, and is starting to grow back. It's not just caused by the lack of Protein, and ketosis, but also due to the anesthesia. There is nothing that can be done to avoid it, however keeping ur Protein intake up, and taking ur Vitamins helps. I also found that the Shampoo called Nioxin helped salvage the hair that was still there, this shampoo although expensive, did help, even helped slow down my husband's balding. It all grows back. I also found that my hair was alot greasier. Talk to your hairdresser, he can help with a good haircut to lighten the load.

it's all worth it! The hair comes back but the pounds don't!

I was banded just three days ago so I'm not experiencing this yet. Years ago when I delivered my kids I went thru that, my hairdresser would cut off a few inches and I used to take cod liver oil pills. Yuck but trust me they worked. Same thing happened to my daughter and we did the same and it also worked. Try them you never know.

I am willing to try anything at this point. The Nioxin didn't help me. Funny thing is, my hair has gotten a lot longer, but it is still falling out. I am going to get it cut a little to see if that helps.

Cod liver oil pills...are they small? Because we really can't take pills. My doctor told me to start Omega 3 but said I should pierce them. Is that what you do with the cod liver oil pills?

Dubee the ones I buy are small gel caps. I would only take one at a time and wait inbetween as they can get stuck in your stomach.

      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.

      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!
