  2. Expect gas pain (felt like terrible stomach ache and back spasms), general soreness, and fatigue. They'll probably try to get you to start sipping fluids sooner than you think you should. Do it! First few days are a little rough but not AT ALL as bad as I feared it might be. You'll probably just regret you hadn't done it sooner.
  3. I've struggled with the same issue since age 20 (now 31 yrs old). I've tried electrolysis (ouch) and laser hair removal. Laser hair removal did work (for a while). I had about 6 treatments and saw maybe a 50% reduction in hair growth, but it only lasted for a few months. I've lost about 100 lbs after RNY, but the issue is still pervasive. I still grow a FULL beard but the hair is not as coarse. I've read that spironolactone and metformin can help. If you prefer something natural: 3 cups of spearmint tea a day has been show to be somewhat effective in slowing facial hair growth. I'm now using Vaniqa, still the first week. Maybe a combination treatment will help you see good results? Spiro+ Metformin+ spearmint tea+ Vaniqa+ laser or electrolysis?
