remember not to color or process your hair just before the surgery -

the hibiclens will probably strip at least some of the color, and the

hairs' cuticle will be very vulnerable to " strip-age "

Just remember: where hair is concerned, attitude is everything. Think

to yourself " this is a style, a choice, not a dreadful accident. "

Dear Aimee,

Thank you - now I'm really, REALLY looking forward to my Hibiclens

experience. Maybe I'll just shave my head and sidestep all this!

Let's see - the 23rd and the morning of the 24th will pretty much suck. I

open with Milk of Magnesia, continue with the other pre-op meds, finish my

day with a refreshing Hibiclens shower, and then I rise at 4 the next day to

take a pill and shower again with Hibiclens.

This is way harder than Weight Watchers. Anybody who thinks this surgery is

the easy way out is very much mistaken!

But I do appreciate the info, Aimee. Thank you!
