No longer worried about hair loss when I get surgery...
...because I chopped most of it off to donate! Pictures on my OH profile/blog!
It feels great, and I am so glad that I did! Hopefully karma will be on my side and by paying it forward, nature will be kind to me after my WLS in 12 days.
Hope everyone has a great and fun day!

Google 'telogen effluvium'. It will explain why post-surgical hair loss is common, and why there's nothing you can do to prevent it IF it's going to happen to you. Not everyone loses hair after WLS, and lots of folks do lose hair after ANY sort of surgery.
The good news is that when your hair starts falling out, it's because new hairs are pushing the old, dead hairs out of the follicle.
