can a guy get a shave post-op ?



Recommended Posts

By that I mean while I am recovering (Dr Aceves / Almeter Hospital) can I get a shave / haircut in the hospital ? Maybe that means walking down to the lobby area ? or just outside ? Likewise, can I get a manicure / pedicure ? I figure I am going to have some recovery time where there won't be much to do ? So I figure I might as well take advantage of the lower costs for service in Mexicali ? Plus, for a guy getting a hot towel straight razor shave is pure luxury ! You feel "re-born". Also what about a "tat" ? I figure I would get the date, plus maybe a sketch of a scapel blade over my belly button saying VSG. Any other "sinful" suggestions I can do while I am recovering ?

Only my opinion, but I would not feel comfortable getting a tattoo in Mexico.

Yes, yes, I did go there and let them cut me open and remove most of my stomach but be really careful with the tattoo decision anyway.

Yeah how about a massage, some Botox and new grill (dental work) ?

Yes.. Live it up in MX! I did.. Except a tattoo, I'd pass on. Don't know for a fact if they have any regulations and the last thing you need is a secondary infection.

My pain level was awful the first week. You sound very much like you are going on vacation. I hope this is how it pans out for you.

I went in with the mind set of "I'm going to vacation while I'm here" I told myself I'm not going to have any pain or pain meds to slow me down. I'm going to walk the minutes wake and I did. I did vacation while there and stayed an extra day in MX just to cover all we could then spent another day in San Diego .. Nonstop going!

Sometimes where there's a pigheaded enough will... There's a way!

Set your mind strong
