Pre surgery waxing....



Recommended Posts

I would assume for the ladies that it will be hard to bend over and shave legs (and other parts) post surgery...I am totally getting waxed! My legs are way past prickly HAHAHAHAHA they are more like fury at this point! Anyway, just a suggestion...carry on

And possibly men for manscaping! It hurts like a MOTHER but worth it!

When/if you have the extra $$ I strongly suggest laser hair removal, if you hate hair like me. I have not shaved in months!!! Underarms, my pikachu and butt!

make sure you do it at least 3 days prior to surgery day so no infections

i finally shaved my legs cause it’s hot here and I am wearing shorts. But good grief my lady stuff has seen better days lol

I was just going to say, Might want to make sure you check with your surgical team for any restrictions... I've heard/read about some teams barring shaving for whatever reasons... always best to ask your team!

I wasn't allowed to do any hair removal from the neck down for seven days prior to surgery so make sure it's Kosher with your surgeon!

I hate to brag (yeah right), but I've never had to shave my legs or armpits in my life. My hair just doesn't grow in those two (four?) locations, so it wasn't a concern for me. :) lol

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
