No undies, and written surgery instructions were not to shave. I think they did that for us.

The Catheter goes in after you're out right????? Lol

Mine went in an out while I was knocked out. That was an expirience I could totally do without.

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 incisions all over my stomach right after surgery and I was distressed to learn that I had been naked on the table while they changed my gown! Lol! Crazy.

no underwear during surgery but that does not translate to needing a wax unless that's what you normally do anyway.

I shaved but that is my usual choice for grooming. It will be a week or so before you feel like shaving your legs and whatever other business you usually attend to so do it the night before surgery if you are going to.

Just trimmed. No underwear and they didn't insert a catheter. That's why after they have me 2 IV's of Fluid I had to get up and go to the restroom several times. I was worried I would pee on the table but I did well.

It's amazing how everyone's experience was different. I never received a Catheter, after waking up, they had me walking, and using the restroom with assistance from the nurse of course; because I was still kind of out of it..

I trimmed like normal. After having 2 kids I can care less what the lady bits look like to a Dr. They are professional, they've seen it all. It's really no biggie, just something we like to worry ourselves about.

I'm the same. I never had a catheter & I was up walking within a few hours. I came out of surgery about 4ish then once I finally woke up properly about 7ish I was walking around everywhere, I even had a shower at midnight. Some people used heaps of drugs to but I apparently pressed the button only 5 times & had all pain meds removed the next day!

I must say that when the put the catheter in me it was will I was out. And they took it out when I was out after the surgery.. I too was up and walking after waking up and they were trying to get me to pee. The only reason I knew I had one is because they told me if I wasn't able to pee soon they would have to put it back in!! 0_o

I think my will helped me speed things up for me, I was so sick of being fat I just kept pushing. One year on I've now dropped 49kg & am now working on slowing the weight loss down!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
