Hi thanks for the replies guys, appreciated.
Voipman, hoping to do as you say. Get my hair cut short in the lead up - both so people see me with short hair (less shock when I see them post op!?) and then just prior to op itself.
The trimming of hairs was more me thinking that it would be less obvious upon my return to work if I had trimmed them down slightly. As they usually shed I didn't think it would matter but I'm probably being daft!? Again, once the ugly duckling phase starts I would look to keep it short to hopefully restrict how it looks. Although again Im not sure if that will actually work in practice.
