For Fun: Beautifying for surgery....

[MisforMimi 760]

Soooo, is anyone planning to do anything special for surgery?

* haircut/color?

*pedicure (no manicures)

*hair removal

*spa services

Or are we going in busted to make those after pics look more stunning? LOL...

I'll be doing a pedicure for sure and getting my hair done...

I do plan on getting hair cut and color due to after affects on my hair and a pedicure for sure...

My surgery is the 19th, I am heading in tomorrow for a cut and color (grey root coloring and I think some foils along my forehead and middle to help conceal the greys a bit to give me some time before I really need another touch up)... My appointment isn't til 12, and I'm picking up the sitter at 10 so hopefully I can get to the nail salon across the street from the hair place for a pedicure. I *NEED* it!! Don't want to scare the nurses

/for some reason I'm not allowed to wear socks in the hospital?/

The instructions that I were give was no mani OR pedi. Or, at least no nail polish. But definitely did the hair prior to surgery! lol. I also wasn't allowed to use any hair product or soap the day of the surgery. The had me use some special soap instead. No makeup, etc. I looked a mess before I even went into surgery.

[MamaTo3inNH 100]

No fingernail polish, but toes are ok I have to shower the night before using the special soap except face and privates I can use my own and hair I use my Shampoo, repeat that process morning of surgery. Absolutely no jewelry either.

[MamaTo3inNH 100]

No deoderent either!! I'm gonna STINK!!!!

I got my hair done and my woohoo sugared (sorry if TMI) today. Might get mani pedi this weekend but no polish on the nails.

I will shave my legs the day before along with the special wash they gave me for day before and morning of surgery.

I don't want to have to deal with any maintenance for awhile after surgery.

my woohoo sugared (sorry if TMI)

Omg I'm not alone. I was sitting here waxing like its a hot date and told myself I'm freaking crazy!

[MamaTo3inNH 100]

You get your whoohaa waxed?!? I've gotten a bikini wax before my c secretions but now I'm way bigger... I'm mortified to get it done, yet intrigued. Do you do Brazilian? Or just a bikini? I can't imagine having to plop my fat butt on some lady's table and display my nethers, and fat rolls, for her to see!! Brave lady!!

[esskay77 785]

When you say you go your whoohoo sugared, what does that mean? I know what you mean by whoohoo but what is sugared?

[jblkmom 65]

I got a Brazilian. I don't want to mess around, lol. Sugaring is a different way of hair removal but a lot like waxing. They use sugar instead of wax.

Man, the things I learn on this board.... I had no idea, but am fascinated. I just discovered waxing about a year ago (eyebrows only!), and I'm clearly far behind the times.

[Countrygrrl 450]

I do my own waxing me and my best gf will get together and help one another out. But yes I'm a waxen fool

[laurenella82 625]

Does the sugar hurt less? I tried waxing my legs once and I got one little patch off and grabbed a razor to finish. Lol

I will probably shave (or veet) everything and get my hair braided or something so I don't have to bother with it after.

Sugaring doesn't hurt as much as waxing but I won't lie it hurts, especially around the sensitive lady parts.
