Congrats on your surgery date!! :D

Congrats!!! That was my date but I got a call and its switched to the 25th.

What have you done to prepare?

Today I went and bought the shampoo thats suppose to help with loosing my hair. That was the last thing I needed on my list to get.

I feel the exact same way.. I am excited but sometimes my nerves get the best of me. Just scaring myself about going to surgery & waking up in pain!

I'm not nervous about the surgery I've had 4 csections and went threw tbe recovery of tje last two alone. The nurse told me I'll be fine! But i am a single mother of 4 with no help. My friends all live too far to help and my family isn't much help either. Kinda feel like I'm going threw this alone and im more worried about what I'm gonna cook for my kids after surgery....

The shampoo I got was from Sally Beauty Supply and its called Nutri-Ox. If you can't get that one I know some people have bought the Garnier with Biotin in it and its cheaper but they say its not as strong. Not sure if money was a factor in your choice but just a heads up.

I just go the shampoo and was gonna get the conditioner but they were out of the one for color hair. I tried it last night even though I haven't had surgery yet(next Tuesday) I started now to get a head start and maybe I won't loose so much hair

Thanks! I'm going to look for it. The nurse told me its the not taking the vitamins that makes people loose hair. So I'm gonna be ontop of that since my hair is allready thin :-(

That's what they told me too ...that losing hair is due to not taking the vitamins & getting enough protein in. However, if the shampoo works I'm all for it!
