hair for surgery day

[onelessfatgirl 103]

Should I wear my hair down or pulled up for the day of my surgery? I'm asking not about style but comfort and practicality.

Pull it back in a ponytail or whatever. Keep it out of your face. You'll have an oxygen line to your nose for the first day at least.

Try French braid or reg. Braid of hair not long enough bring scrunchies so after surgery you can put up. You tend to be warm from pain meds. At least I get pretty hot period. So having hair up does help.

I wore mine down.. But brought hair ties for the days after to keep it manageable

Most hospitals usually don't allow hair ties into the operating room and will make you take them out and put them with your personal belongings. They put a surgical cap on your head and they put your hair into that anyway. But on that note, definitely bring at least one with you, just in case. It drives me crazy having my hair down when I'm hot...

I want to cut my hair short but I'll wait until after surgery so I can wear braids in the hospital.

Having worked in an OR you will not be able to wear the hair tie or elastic if it has any metal on it. For the same reason that you cannot wear jewelry or anything else metal. So with that being said you can wear a rubberband or a tie without metal but best to just wear it "twisted" back for the surgery in the cap....I am hoping my hair is the least of my worries. Hope that helps
