Amie 90 Posted February 23, 2013 I was told I couldn't shave 4 days before the surgery which sucked because I got married 2 days before my surgery and spent that night at a hot springs. But I didn't cave I didn't want anything to interfere with getting my surgery. I biggest fear came true though I was on my period durning surgery so I did wear hospital undies and they ended up not giving me a catheter so I guess I was lucky there. I would say if you are really worried about it get it waxed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCurvyJones 721 Posted February 23, 2013 NO unders. No catheter either. My surgeon didn't go below the belly button. I didn't shave or anything either... I wasn't trying to date him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LDallas 108 Posted February 24, 2013 I had no catheter. Wish I did. After surg, I was vomiting HARD every 15 mins, all night long. As I had a continuous IV drip, every time I threw up I pee'd all over the bed. It was like a river. It was HORRIBLE!!! Re trimming, nothing crazy just a normal trim job.

JP69 116 Posted February 27, 2013 You don't shave because if you do get nicked or something, you could get staff infection or some other kind. You don't want to deal with surgery then something on top of that! They don't care what you do down there, they have truly seen thousands and don't pay much attention. They have to much to worry about, than to worry if you shaved or waxed down there. As far as a catheter, I didn't have one. I don't think anybody really needs a catheter. I was able to get up and slowly get to the bathroom and pee with little or no help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banned member 320 Posted February 27, 2013 I started my period about 5 hours before surgery so I had to wear those fancy netted panties with a huge bulky pad. I probably did shave a week or 2 before surgery but I wasn't worried about it being hairy or anything. Now that I'm post op I get waxed every 4 weeks. Also they told me not to shave.

sr910 55 Posted February 27, 2013 I didn't have a catheter for my surgery but when I was wheeled into my room I noticed I was wearing a fabric gown and I had gone into surgery with a thick paper like one. Yeah' date=' here I am with incisions all over my stomach right after surgery and I was distressed to learn that I had been naked on the table while they changed my gown! Lol! Crazy.[/quote'] Haha same thing happened to me when I had arm surgery!! Fell asleep with a paper gown, then woke up with a fabric gown! Also, got up to use the bathroom and found a brown spot on the bed where my bum had been. I asked the nurse if I had shat myself or something and she said, "No it's just iodine from your foley." Um... what from my what?! No one told me they would be violating my pee-hole while I was unconscious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sassafras 136 Posted March 18, 2013 Even if they told me not to shave, I had to! A girl has to look her best and my hardwood floors are always polished Does everyone have a cath? I went to Mexico for my surgery and the first thing they said when I woke up in recovery was that they had to take my "intimate" piercing out for safety. I was wondering how they even knew it was there because its tucked so neatly like a pearl in an oyster. A catheter would explain it...hmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TES 858 Posted March 18, 2013 I had a cathether until the morning after surgery (my surgery was in the late afternoon). I still got up and walked and just carried the cathether bag (I think it was covered up somehow--don't even remember). I had a hard time urinating after they took the catheter out but the urge to go came back eventually. I was grateful for the cathether that first day when it hurt to get in and out of bed. I didn't mind getting in and out to walk but it would have been a bummer to do it to use the restroom too. Plus my legs were plugged in (for blood clot prevention)--so everytime I needed to get up I had to ask for help. I would page them and ask if someone could please unplug my legs and they would crack up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
