I'm still hairy



Recommended Posts

This probably hasn't crossed the mind of many female bandsters, but doesn't the hospital shave around the banding area prior to the procedure? I thought they did with most operations? (never been under the knife before this, so excuse my ignorance)

I've the same hairy stomach I've always had... I can hardly see where they've operated through a mat of curly hair.

P.S. Sorry if I put you off your Breakfast.< /p>

hehe, no breakfast yet! I dunno. I know there is one fella herer who managed to get his nipple nicked by the shaving razor the nurse used...OUCH! But it apparently healed up fine. And I think they shaved because of the sticky EKG or whtever thingy's they use...so, I guess I'm not much help. I'm assuming you have some type of scars underneath the rug?

Thanks for the smile this morning!!

Thanks for your input, Kathy...

You're right, my Austin-Powers-style chest wig more than adequately covers the new scars I've recieved.

Well that's one of the great things about this site...we can be so....honest.

I guess I'm surprised to hear you didn't get shaved. I also thought that was normal. In the spirit of sharing too much, I have a little bit of baby fine hair on my tummy and THAT got shaved.

And yes, the nicked nipple of bobalooey is now legendary.

Check out to see if they shaved your back instead. They may have "gone in through the rear"! My belly hair is finally getting back to normal and my "now legendary" nipple has a permanent scar on it and it points upward! Not cool on a guy.

Would you post a naked picture for us to see what you're talking about?

I love the funny men around here. You guys need to start more threads. Go check out my Fun Threads for ideas, then start some man humor around here! You made my day, too!

I could post a naked picture, but I guarantee it would put you off your milk(!)

It means the site would be so unpleasant as to make drinking milk impossible. (no, I never understood that particular expression, either).

Hope that's cleared things up... Personally, I'm more confused than ever.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
