can a guy get a shave post-op ?



Recommended Posts

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 ?

Only my opinion, but I would not feel comfortable getting a tattoo in Mexico.

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.

Yeah how about a massage, some Botox and new grill (dental work) ?

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

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
