    I appreciate you sharing your tips about making it fun. Thanks. I'm new to this site. I'm beginning my journey. I'm still waiting to go to my doctor's workshop to learn more, and I'm hoping to do the next steps. I hope yours goes really well. - Val

    Ashlee.. You are my go to girl. As I can't figure out how to write a new post I thought I would write it here..

    I heard you shouldn't color your hair for a few months after surgery.. Has anyone heard if this? Cause if so I am screwed... I am so not as old as my hair is lol

    Julez, you are the sweetest!

    I have heard that too! Funny you mention it. I have 46 days til surgery so I dyed my grays tonight and will try to hit the roots one more time before my big day! I guess we will have to buy that hair mascara or colored hairspray they make for bald men. Lol. Hopefully, I'll be preoccupied with my weight loss to notice or care. :)
