can a guy get a shave post-op ?

By that I mean while I am recovering (Dr Aceves / Almeter Hospital) can I get a shave / haircut in the hospital ? Maybe that means walking down to the lobby area ? or just outside ? Likewise, can I get a manicure / pedicure ? I figure I am going to have some recovery time where there won't be much to do ? So I figure I might as well take advantage of the lower costs for service in Mexicali ? Plus, for a guy getting a hot towel straight razor shave is pure luxury ! You feel "re-born". Also what about a "tat" ? I figure I would get the date, plus maybe a sketch of a scapel blade over my belly button saying VSG. Any other "sinful" suggestions I can do while I am recovering ?

Yes, yes, I did go there and let them cut me open and remove most of my stomach but be really careful with the tattoo decision anyway.

LOL!! Thanks you just made me choke on my slider food! :P

Yes.. Live it up in MX! I did.. Except a tattoo, I'd pass on. Don't know for a fact if they have any regulations and the last thing you need is a secondary infection.

My pain level was awful the first week. You sound very much like you are going on vacation. I hope this is how it pans out for you.

I went in with the mind set of "I'm going to vacation while I'm here" I told myself I'm not going to have any pain or pain meds to slow me down. I'm going to walk the minutes wake and I did. I did vacation while there and stayed an extra day in MX just to cover all we could then spent another day in San Diego .. Nonstop going!

Sometimes where there's a pigheaded enough will... There's a way!

Set your mind strong
