I'm not about the waxing - maybe someday. I,personally, don't like the bare look. I feeling like it attracts pedophiles! (I know that's not true, don't get pi$$ed at me!) I try to keep it clean but I'm lazy and I figure if any guy has a problem, he can move on :P

"Pied" I even put in special characters to say pi--ed

First time I was waxed it was by a larger woman at a shop here in my town. We were laughing so hard the whole time, her coworkers were knocking on the door to check on us.

Second time I went to a school...... HELL NO!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN. I think I lost layers of kitty skin!!!

I have had the laser done and its wonderful!! I had about 6 months of treatment and haven't had to go back. It's great!!! Losing weight and having the Brazilian done makes me feel wonderful.

-a big NO to waxing...ESP my valentine!-

Every time I have had my eyebrows waxed a few layers of skin were ripped off as well. All attempts were at different salons & different clinicians. Each time I looked like I had severe radiation burns!!!

That's it no more! So there is NO way I would even consider risking hot wax & ripped skin on my valentine (I don't care what size she is....hell NO!!!!!)

My husband trims my hedges, he does a fantastic job & never complains. Nothing fancy, no landing strips and I give him creative & artistic freedom to do what he pleases; he's happy & I'm happy!

---but GOOD LUCK on your waxing adventure

Everyone's skin is different...I can have waxing done on all my body ...but as soon as they get near my um...uh...top lip my skin comes off :-( ...my treat for myself is for Lazer treatment...god my husband has seen it all and done it all...but to discuss my top lip issues. Hell no ! Pmsl...sorry bit of a tangent here rofl. Back to the subject...if to scared of waxing.. maybe iMac...as good a result as waxing...but would need to do every week (well I do or maybe I'm a hairy Mary lol) ..razor leave hair bumps as its the hair pushing back through the skin and then the pours can get infected and cause in growing hairs :-(

That's HILARIOUS that you call her your "valentine"!! I'm on the fence but I get my eyebrows done every three weeks (I'm ITALIAN, okay? So just imagine...) and my skin doesn't flinch so I should be good to go down there with a wax. I have also considered lazer hair removal but that may be a Quest if i ever get that Tummy Tuck, free or not. Which, by the way my bikini line extends over my c-section scar hence under the flap of shame.

Love you guys!

Why go through the pain of waxing when laser is less painful and last forever!! It's wonderful and husband loves it!!

It's also a lot more expensive, Eller. I'm getting the side of my face done and it CAN get pricy.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
