Loose skin support sleeves..?

[Guest guest]

Since I've begun losing, I'm rapidly getting batwingsthat are.. ummm..

HUGE (did anyone see the cartoon teacher in " Monkeybones " ?). I

wondered preop, but never looked into it.. if wearing supportive

elastic sleeves might not help the skin to tighten up a bit.. If so,

where could I find the materials to make these things, since I doubt

they're produced commercially? Anyone have any ideas??

Second question.. when you postops say your hair starts falling out,

is it more hair in the brush in the AM, or worse? I get more hair in

the brush.. I shed as I walk around.. if I flip my hair back w/a hand,

I have a clump of 6-10 hairs on my fingers.. if I run my fingers along

my ponytail, I get more hair out. Is this the expected, or more

severe than usual? I'm tempted to just cut it all off, but I don't

want to overreact ..yet.. and if I do cut it off, I plan to donate the

poneytail to locks of love (www.locksoflove.com)- its a nonprofit

organization that uses donated hair to make wigs for children whose

hair has fallen out due to chemotherapy or a medical problem.

Anyway.. before I shave my head.. is this the norm for postop

shedding?

Thanks in advance-

Hugs,
