Thank you, I love this site have learn so much.

I had my orientation at HRRH on March 23 waiting to receive next appointment. My understanding it could take 4 to 6 months. As the nurse stated the journey starts now!! I gave up pop 5 months ago, coffee month ago.. I have been doing everything the nurse said we need to start doing measuring and weighing food, chewing longer, no skipping meals, reading labels, no drinking when eating, food journal, and how to recognize and handle head hunger. I have bought couple books the nurse had mentioned can't wait until they come in. 

I went through HRRH (Jaxie and I both did.. plus we had our surgery at the same time and place!!). My timeline is in my profile. I don't think many people are rushed through at 4-6 months anymore, but I could be wrong. It seems to vary but last I checked, HRRH was backed up due to losing a doctor I think? 

Sorry I wasn't clear on this she said it will take 4 to 6 months from orientation to next appointment. Orientation to surgery about year. 

Aha! Yes that is a much better and attainable goal. :)

You are at the caterpillar stage.  My hairloss lasted to about the 7 month mark.  I did the best I could with it but it wasn't fun.  I just stopped looking at my head in the mirror & concentrated on the rock'in bod that was pushing its way through.

You will look super in a shortie cut...show off those expressive eyes.

Thanks Roxy :) Yeah I've already started the denial ! Lol ....I'm just not gonna look !! It's just so traumatic washing my hair now ! And brushing it after !!! Oh god ! ...but yeah ...short cut is the way I'm going !

Congratulations on your success so far and your attitude! I too had it pretty easy. Everyone seems to be different in the hair loss but I lost mine for a full year. Make sure you get your vitamins in and your protein daily. When I went in for my year check, my blood work showed low iron. I started taking iron and voila! Hair stopped falling out.

All the best!

Thank you so much ! And OMG ! A year ?? Jeezo ...honestly ..I don't have that much hair !!!! I am religious with my vitamins and protien . But my Iron was low before surgery , and I've not had my bloods done since , my 3 month follow up is on 13th April , so it will be interesting to see what's going on there , it very well could be that .

Thanks again doll xx
