Hair dye after surgery ?



Recommended Posts

I want to dye my hair since I noticed I started getting gray hairs (I'm 27)

I read somewhere about not dying hair for 1 year after surgery.

Any advice?

I'm 9 days post op.

Thank you

What? Oh man. I've already been to the salon and had highlights for summer. I'll let you know if I die [emoji23]
Hope this isn't true!

I have dyed my hair twice since surgery. I was not given any advice like this at all.

in my pre-op classes they said that you will lose hair at around the 6 month mark (no matter what). They said its not enough that other people notice, but you will start noticing it in your brush and in your drain and they told us not to freak out. If you normally lose hair when you get it dyed, then it will cause more Hair loss than you otherwise would. However, they said by the 1 year mark you will be back to normal. I have super thin hair naturally, but I will be dying my hair before school starts because I figure I will lose what I will lose and having gray hair makes me self conscious.

I won't be planning to .. before I get into surgery I'm gonna dye it my natural color and just lots of treatment.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
