Wow thats a lot of hours sorry u had to due tests again. Its so nice to meet a fellow cosmetologist :) R u pre op or post? My date is Jan 8th.

I am pre. My date is January 11! I'm so excited, as I'm sure you are, also. :) and a fellow cosmetologist!!

At least I didn't have to take all the class hours again. That's what they stated initially but I appealed and it worked out. Taking the tests was the easy part. But, it's amazing the "textbook" material you don't account for daily. But, I passed them first time through and was grateful. :)

I got a Brazilian before my wedding day 7 yrs ago and it was awesome (not the experience but the effect.). Getting my shuns waxed hurt worse than the Brazilian. The lady did not make me feel very comfortable but it was well worth it. I would love to surprise my husband with it for our anniversary cruise in May. Hopefully I won't be as embarrassed then as u would now. :(

Brazillian is the way to go! I used to go every 4 weeks but after the hair stopped growing as quick, I moved to 5-6 weeks.

The hair must be at least 1/2" per my salon. If it is too long, then they will trim it. Also, some salons will offer some kind of cream to numb it a little. In my opinion, it wasn't worth it.

The first time, I was a bit skeptical but these ladies are professional. I love the outcome and I am thinking about adding my armpits to the regimen.

Oh, and wait 24hours before sex if possible. I believe my salon says no baths either for 24hrs (you can take a shower but don't scrub there)

Yes, Brazillian is great. I only go downtown if the streets are clean. But when it's clean, I'll take my time & enjoy the scenery :)

Oh no...not to you. Sugaring is great. I just meat any licensed esthetician using the amber colored honey wax to perform a bikini wax....well that's insane. Lol

I had that and it was a HORRIBLE experience. I had that with my very first wax and never went back. The other salon I went to used the strips and that would leave me raw and red down there, sex was definitely out of the question for a couple of days or at least till it scabbed over a little :/ I guess I will look into a salon that uses the blue wax, I'm gonna call around tomorrow.

Alright girls, I'm going to trust you and give it a try. Anything I need to know? I freaking hate shaving so I hope this is a better solution. Also anything I need to look out as far as salon cleanliness? Shouldn't they use a new stick every dip into the wax or something?

My suggestion for the first time is to find a nice spa on Yelp with good ratings. Don't go for the $35 chain places or nail salons for the first time. Spas are more relaxing and strive more on customer satisfaction than a salon where the prices are low.

My advice, be brave! You will feel so sexy! You will be glad you did it!!! :) If you find a good salon, the technician will e good enough that it doesn't hurt that bad. In my opinion waxing my eye brows feels exactly the same!

I'm not scared of the pain. I just worry about getting a rash or something. My skin is so sensitive, when I shave I get crazy bumps no matter how careful I am or what I use.

I've been waxing for years, I do it myself and have also been to a beauty therapist.

Find a good Beauty therapist, mine was an ex nurse - made me more comfortable!

It gets easier the more u do it and the results are fantastic. I'm currently experiencing a shrinking 'region' which is making it easier lol

At one stage I used to use an epilator...now if u can handle an epilator u can handle ANYTHING lol

      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.
