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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
