Itried giving one to myself once. Bad, bad, bad idea. I ended up on the phone with my mother bawling my eyes out because I could not get up the nerve to pull the wax off.

That being said I would have been fine with someone else doing it. Yeah painful but so worth it in the end. I figure that they have had to seen some nasty looking snatch so mine could not possible look that bad..

It is funny now but at the time I was mortified. It took me a good 2 hours to get all the wax off not including the ultra hot sitz bath.

I've always debated it, but I'm afraid my hooha is one of those 'nastier lookin ones' you guys talk about lol. I'm all disfigured on thighs and hooha from boils & crap. So I just shave it!

since im still over weight I dont know about ya'll but its not the EASIEST position to get into to shave it . I never do a really good job.

The girl that does my waxing for my eye brows and my lip is and i have become friends so i would probably be fairly comfy with her doing my waxing down there. I might talk to her about it when i go next.

Wellll... I've had it done, and done by a professional. As for embarassing I figured - whatever it's like going to the gyno -they've seen one they've seen them all. And because this is their job they will be nothing but professional about it. At no time will your "goods" be staring them full on in the face. You go in and undres from the waist down, they give you a "paper cloth" type of thing that you lie on and then it folds up over you and you hold on to it, you move it to help them with different areas but it also covers you up where they are not working on it.

Does it hurt - sure it does, how bad? Well I don't know I have a high tolerance for external pain (a few piercings and tattoos attest to that) but it's worth it and sooo smooth after. You can buy something to "roll on" after you shower that stops ingrown hairs and whatnot. And it doesn't give that crazy itchy feeling that shaving does when hair comes back in.

My opinion - if you think you can handle having it done then schedule one with a professional at a salon/spa as it's just another day and another dollar for them.

I go to a fabulous place here in town called the Waxing Studio so i think i'll go there soon and get it done .

They are AWESOME . I will NEVER go to a nail place to get my eyebrows or any waxing done again . For just a few dollars more the waxing studio does SUCH a better job . Its locally owned but if you can find some place in your area that only does waxing i highly suggest it . The people that work in the nail places most of the time are nail techs that are not trained for waxing. The place i go they are licensed Aestheticians and it makes SUCH a difference !

So pay a little more money and go to a spa or something .

HTH

I do the marketing for a local salon/spa that does brazilian's among other things. It is just a common everyday thing for them....you see one muff you've seen them all. There is nothing to be embarassed about, seriously. If you go to a reputable salon, its no big deal.

I have never done waxing, but once I get down near goal weight I would consider it -- I'm too embarrassed now. Not because of the nanners (one of my favorite euphemisms, yes, I admit I am easily amused), because of the fat. I often shave but dealing with the possibility of ingrown hairs, etc is just annoying and with my big gut it's difficult to do at times. I hear it's much better with waxing. I also have a high tolerance for pain.

I have gotten these done, even recently before going on vacation. Just be sure to go to a good waxing place / spa salon type (not a nail salon as mentioned). Your goods are not "out there", you will have like a paper "diaper" that covers you up...One bad experience, wax dripping "WAY" down down there, couldn't go to the bathroom for a wk (the #2 kind - gross I know)....

I shaved myself bald once when I was young - this was during some kinda erotic fun - and suffered from a severe case of the itchies for days afterwards. I phoned up my mum in order to whine about this and she fell over laughing.

The itchies were awful bad. I found myself dry humping the corner of my desk in order to try to find some relief. Since then I have left that region alone. It looks like my own personal part of the Canadian wilderness. As long as it remains wildlife free I am cool with it. I was thinking of applying to the federal government in order to get it recognised as a national park. Now I simply don't think about it all that much. But I had spent many years watching Sex and the City and I am curious about crotch wax jobs.

Yeah, me too. I had a white bathing suit one year so I took the lot off with a razor. Ick. Soooooo itchy and it really, um, reduced sensation. I know a lot of people say a brazillian increases sensation but I found the complete opposite.

Plus, I'm no prude, but I just dont like it. Little girls are bald, I'm an adult woman. Its kind of creepy to me, just icky.

But I would NEVER be brave enough to let someone down there to do it. The less people peer up my ginger the better. I can count on one hand the number who have and I'd like to keep it that way. And it would HURT!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
