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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
