Hair Dye



Recommended Posts

Okay so this is probably a dumb question but I don't care. My hair needs to be done. And by that I mean cut & foiled. I was wanting to wait and do it after surgery. But I worry about the Hair loss. Should quick get it done before my surgery or is it better to wait and do it after?

Doesnt' matter. Most Hair loss starts 2-3 months after surgery. (I'm told...mine hasn't been bad yet)

My hair has thinned quite a bit. I'm not crazy about it, but everything I read says it will come back, so I'm hanging tough. I did color it about a month ago, for whatever that's worth.

Hey girls!

I'm 10 years out, BUT....I dyed my hair the entire way through. I'm now a bottle blonde and it hasn't made much difference. My hair texture and fullness changed after surgery -- even when it did grow back. But I think whatever makes you feel great about you during this transtion is totally worth it!!

I made a YouTube video about it :) Check it out if you feel like it :) Otherwise, good luck!

I've gone through periods of thinning hair in the past (postpartum, different meds, etc) and while it always comes back, it is a frustration. I have found, given my skin and hair pigmentation, colouring my hair actually makes it look fuller/thicker and it makes me feel better about how I look. Just my two cents...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
