Hi, @nomadnurses2 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As you were talking about significant hair loss three years post-Nissen Fundoplication, I've moved your post here to a discussion where others are talking about issues following this surgery:

- Nissen Fundoplication 2 Years Later: Complications? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/nissen-fundoplication-2-years-later-complications/

Hoping others here who have talked about being on the other side of this surgery will provide some support and share whether hair loss has been part of their experiences, such as @metwo @dolphinpoo @pat23 @jord @jayjay1969. I'd also like you to meet @jlharsh.

I see you said that no cause has been found for the hair loss by a dermatologists and an endocrinologist. Wondering if they suggested you treat the hair loss? If so, what treatment did they recommend?

Thanks for the invite @lisalucier. You have amazing timing!

Hi @nomadnurses2 . I am familiar but haven’t had a Nissan Fundoplication procedure. My mom actually had hers done years ago so I am aware of challenges following. I don’t remember hair loss but now I am going to ask her.

My digestive symptoms haven’t led to a diagnosis at this point but I do have them. And, I keep losing hair. It has been little by little but literally, I think I will blame lisalucier for bringing it up. Two days now I’ve had a bunch of hair ending up covering the drain after my shower.

Is your hair loss gradual all over thinning or spots on your head? I am interested to know what you learned from a dermatologist and endocrinologist as well. Should I pursue?
