Down there?

Crazy question but I'm just wondering do you wear underwear during the surgery? If not I'm wondering if I should get a wax down there. Lol

For those who had the surgery what did you do?

For those who haven't had it yet what are your plans?? Lol I know I sound crazy

  • Isn't it funny how our surgeons slice is open, have to spread apart our innards and see all our guts and blobby yellow fat and we're so worried about making sure our little lady is trim?

    NO unders. No catheter either. My surgeon didn't go below the belly button. I didn't shave or anything either... I wasn't trying to date him.

  • I didn't have a catheter for my surgery but when I was wheeled into my room I noticed I was wearing a fabric gown and I had gone into surgery with a thick paper like one. Yeah, here I am with incision

Get waxed .. Lol :)

Nope. No underwear. They will take those away before surgery. Do whatever feels most comfortable for you! If you are a regular waxer, go for it. But I just trimmed and groomed normally. You have to remember that your surgeon and his/her team likely does 3-4 of these operations a day. They have undoubtedly seen FAR crazier than whatever you are bringing to the table, so don't sweat it!

No panties!! And yes I "dolled" myself up every

Way I could! Including a mani-pedi!!!

Yeah, there's no undies. You will likely have a catheter, so no.

You guys are hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waxed and sprayed a little perfume on myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy legs. Get your mines out the gutter. Lol

Lol, and they sure aren't checking to see if you have a bush, a beach or a runway. Hilarious.

For the most part Amy :) you will be draped but for the prep they will be uncovering you..

Learned from my husbands surgical rotations :P

Personally, i didn't shave anything for several weeks before the surgery because my doctor said there would be no surgery if there was any razor burn or open cuts or any irritation, especially near the surgery site ( i.e. armpits & bikini area). I also didn't want the discomfort of stubble while i was healing.
