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

Im sure they take a sneak peak for educational purposes haha

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.

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.

Ughhhhh!!!! That's so annoying!!! At least you're knocked out ;)

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!
