I'm a hairdresser and I'm preop. I'm really curious about how long other hair dressers took off from work. I work in a cooperate salon so it can get pretty busy some days. I don't want to miss out on making money but I also don't want to overdo it too soon.

Pre-op hair guy here ???? I asked this same question a few weeks ago and would like to hear more suggestions myself.. Good luck on your journey..

honestly, your going to need time to heal, but more importantly is time to get a routine down, its easy now to think oh ill drink this and etc, but until you get to that post op liquid stage its almost impossible to really know. I would suggest the marked Water bottle it really helps.

if you need the picture of it , let me know ill post it.

Here trust me this helped immensely.

thank you I'll have to put that on my list of things to get before surgery.

I was sleeved on 12/18, starting weight of 232 and I'm down 47 pounds! I took off 13 days, and it is wasn't to bad going back. My first day I was booked from 9am to 6pm and I def didn't get in all my fluid but I was able to get through the day! Each day gets easier and now I have a routine! I keep water at my station and take sips all day long! Protein drinks and bars will be your best friend! I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

thank you so much for responding. I didn't think it'd be that difficult to find other hairdressers, then again I guess we all stay pretty busy lol.

I was so nervous to go back to work but everyone I work with is so supportive!! It helps!! It's crazy the responses I get from clients, I choose not to tell all of them, and they will say "did you cut your hair" and I want to say no I've lost almost 50 pounds! Lol

Yeah some of my clients I'll tell and some no way! Lol

I took 6 weeks off. I work in a corporate salon also and we have illness recovery time so I took advantage of that. 12 hour days were hard to adjust to, I'm still adjusting because I'm still very tired.
