So I'm suposed to have surgery tmrw. Normally I would be happy, but I naired early yesterday morning and some of the nair irritated me under my stomach fold. Which 1. I've naired hundreds of times and never have had this happen and 2. I thought it would be safer than shaving due to you can gets cuts from shaving.

Well now my dr wants to see me today to see if he still wants to do my surgery tmrw ???? has anyone ever had skin irritation under their flap and still had surgery?

If you're having the sleeve, they don't even do anything that low on your abdomen. The incisions are all upper belly or around the natural waistline (if you drew a line across the belly button area). Mild rashes or irritation shouldn't be an issue in the pannus region.

And you don't have to be hairless. They don't care what is down there, so not sure why you'd put chemical hair remover down there or worry about shaving... they've seen it all and if it would interfere with surgery, they'd remove the hair themselves.

I just had my surgery on November 3. I have a hairy chest and stomach and was surprised that they did no shaving at all. A little discomfort removing some of the tapes, but otherwise no worse for wear.

@@FrankiesGirl I'm hairy person in general thanks to genetics and pcos lol. I didn't want to horrify ppl with my hairy legs and I'm going to have to have a catheter for 24 hours. But dr saw me today and I'm going in for surgery tmrw at 11:30am. Got to be there at 9 so wish me luck!

Glad the doc reassured you that you'll be fine - good luck tomorrow!!
