Pre surgery waxing....



Recommended Posts

I would assume for the ladies that it will be hard to bend over and shave legs (and other parts) post surgery...I am totally getting waxed! My legs are way past prickly HAHAHAHAHA they are more like fury at this point! Anyway, just a suggestion...carry on

And possibly men for manscaping! It hurts like a MOTHER but worth it!

When/if you have the extra $$ I strongly suggest laser hair removal, if you hate hair like me. I have not shaved in months!!! Underarms, my pikachu and butt!

make sure you do it at least 3 days prior to surgery day so no infections

i finally shaved my legs cause it’s hot here and I am wearing shorts. But good grief my lady stuff has seen better days lol

I was just going to say, Might want to make sure you check with your surgical team for any restrictions... I've heard/read about some teams barring shaving for whatever reasons... always best to ask your team!

I wasn't allowed to do any hair removal from the neck down for seven days prior to surgery so make sure it's Kosher with your surgeon!

I hate to brag (yeah right), but I've never had to shave my legs or armpits in my life. My hair just doesn't grow in those two (four?) locations, so it wasn't a concern for me. :) lol

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
