Crazy question but I'm just wondering do you wear underwear during the surgery? If not I'm wondering if I should get a wax down there. Lol

For those who had the surgery what did you do?

For those who haven't had it yet what are your plans?? Lol I know I sound crazy

Nope. No underwear. They will take those away before surgery. Do whatever feels most comfortable for you! If you are a regular waxer, go for it. But I just trimmed and groomed normally. You have to remember that your surgeon and his/her team likely does 3-4 of these operations a day. They have undoubtedly seen FAR crazier than whatever you are bringing to the table, so don't sweat it!

Yeah, there's no undies. You will likely have a catheter, so no.

Isn't it funny how our surgeons slice is open, have to spread apart our innards and see all our guts and blobby yellow fat and we're so worried about making sure our little lady is trim?

Lol, and they sure aren't checking to see if you have a bush, a beach or a runway. Hilarious.

For the most part Amy :) you will be draped but for the prep they will be uncovering you..

Learned from my husbands surgical rotations :P

Personally, i didn't shave anything for several weeks before the surgery because my doctor said there would be no surgery if there was any razor burn or open cuts or any irritation, especially near the surgery site ( i.e. armpits & bikini area). I also didn't want the discomfort of stubble while i was healing.

      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.
