I'm still hairy



Recommended Posts

This probably hasn't crossed the mind of many female bandsters, but doesn't the hospital shave around the banding area prior to the procedure? I thought they did with most operations? (never been under the knife before this, so excuse my ignorance)

I've the same hairy stomach I've always had... I can hardly see where they've operated through a mat of curly hair.

P.S. Sorry if I put you off your Breakfast.< /p>

hehe, no breakfast yet! I dunno. I know there is one fella herer who managed to get his nipple nicked by the shaving razor the nurse used...OUCH! But it apparently healed up fine. And I think they shaved because of the sticky EKG or whtever thingy's they use...so, I guess I'm not much help. I'm assuming you have some type of scars underneath the rug?

Thanks for the smile this morning!!

Thanks for your input, Kathy...

You're right, my Austin-Powers-style chest wig more than adequately covers the new scars I've recieved.

Well that's one of the great things about this site...we can be so....honest.

I guess I'm surprised to hear you didn't get shaved. I also thought that was normal. In the spirit of sharing too much, I have a little bit of baby fine hair on my tummy and THAT got shaved.

And yes, the nicked nipple of bobalooey is now legendary.

Read and weep:

Check out to see if they shaved your back instead. They may have "gone in through the rear"! My belly hair is finally getting back to normal and my "now legendary" nipple has a permanent scar on it and it points upward! Not cool on a guy.

Would you post a naked picture for us to see what you're talking about?

I could post a naked picture, but I guarantee it would put you off your milk(!)

It means the site would be so unpleasant as to make drinking milk impossible. (no, I never understood that particular expression, either).

Hope that's cleared things up... Personally, I'm more confused than ever.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
