Re: Can you still diet after the Surgery

[Guest guest]

I have talked to my hairdresser and she did not order the special

shampoo for me. She said that if I was going to lose hair to this

surgery, than I would lose it no matter what I did. She laughingly

told me I had too much hair already and could stand to lose some

(this did nothing to comfort me). The good news she told me, is

that the other ladies she cuts hair for that has done this has had

their hair grow back in.
