I have a consult with a surgeon in two weeks! Just starting my journey
Hi Dawn... yes this site sure has changed from the "old days".... prior to surgery I used to live on this site ... then had surgery and visiting this site slowed down.. now I hardly recognize anyone. Thanks to facebook I guess. Take care of you!!!
Diminishing Dawn please do. You can message me on facebook Tammy Tychynski Croft
Oh I'm very happy to hear you are having the surgery soon, after waiting through the delays. Do you mind sharing what Dr. and hospital you have been dealing with? If you prefer to just send me a message privately, feel free.
Best of luck next week and please followup once you feel up to it.
hello, I am having it done on August 7th. I was told by the doctor doing my surgery that it needs to cause problems with sores, rashes ect.. to be covered by OHIP. it took 4 months to get the answer from OHIP. my surgery was cancelled in June due to COVID so happy to be having it next week. good luck with your journey.
I've lost a LOT OF hair too - and it is stressful :( - I tried biotin and didn't help and it impacts your blood results so you have to stop several weeks before you get your bloodwork done. I ended up not bothering as I didn't see a difference regardless. I am now 13 months post-surgery and I am noticing a LITTLE improvement - not a lot. My ONE braid is now thinner than any one of the THREE braids I USED to put in my hair (hair was too thick for ONE only back in the day). I can't regret the surgery - I feel so much better physically - health-wise but yeah, mourning my hair loss. My hair is past my butt and I was considering chopping it off above my shoulder but then the pandemic hit....
Please keep me in the loop if you happen to find a doctor who will take you on. My nurse practitioner has sent through several referrals on my behalf but we still have not found someone who will even give me a consult. VERY frustrating when excess abdominal skin is causing problems as well as blocking further progress with better health and fitness.
Best of luck!
Will pm you.
