Can I color my hair after transplant?

Good morning Tina! I was wondering if you ever used the Phillips Easy Go portable oxygen concentrator before you had your lung transplant? I am looking for a way to travel without lugging my Eclipse concentrator on airplanes. I take that one because you can sleep overnight with it. I am told conflicting things about the Phillips Easy Go. Some say yes, it can be used as an overnight, some say no. Also, may I ask what your lung function measured at at your time of transplant? I am at 32% right now and have not experienced air hunger yet. I am super worried about when that day comes.

The Inogen G5 can be used overnight (and I did use it overnight) and will charge while using it. I also had car charger, but it will keep at the same level of charge in the car.

I used the Inogen G5. It is quieter than a lot and goes up to 6 liters. However, it is a puffer rather than constant oxygen. So you need to know if you are able to use a puffer. It is also lighter than most. I had the regular case for everyday and bought the backpack for travel, but wasn't able to use it (travel plans were cancelled). One issue that I noticed (and might be the same with others) is that it needs to have the air circulating or gets over heated and then shuts off.
