I am having surgery Thursday June 30th. Should I shave, trim, or even remotely care about my nether regions?

*Note: I am single and haven't gotten any action in YEARS so it's a wilderness down there*

laugh.gif You'll be naked under your gown, but they're not going to get anywhere near the danger zone. I didn't bother trimming... maybe I should have... but I think you're safe!

I'm gonna trim the hedges but don't shave because you don't want to introduce staph just in case. Makes me wish I followed through on laser hair removal.

The fact that you are thinking about probably means you will be self-concsious about it if you don't do some trimming! I'm planning on it!

If you want to make a scene, buzz a design into it! LOL. Maybe I will do! Give them something to talk about.

I don't think the doc will care, but I know after being in the hospital and having the nurses and doctor lift my gown to check incisions over and over again (and not being allowed to wear undies), it got pretty embarrassing for me after awhile...

My surgery is the same day! I always keep mine shaved. However, I think its a personally choice. I was told they will not be down in that area. I forgot to ask but I read somewhere that you can not shower for two days so I think for hygiene wise it's a great idea to trim her a little. Just my opinion! Good Luck and let me know how you're surgery is!

speaking from a nurses point of view they won't even pay attention and the surgery itself won't be anywhere near the untamed lioness

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
