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

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!

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

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?

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
