Good LORD! If you are unable to see the hoochie-coochie to trim properly, can you imagine what the beast will look like under the glare of O.R. lights???! I hope the surgeon doesn't drop an instrument in there a lose it!!!!

Totally commando! No nail polish, deoderant, or anything! Hopefully your surgeon has done enough of these that he/she has seen it all as far as the coochie upkeep is concerned! No wories, they give you some good juice and it is over before you know it!

I had all male nurses and they felt bad for me because I was on my period so they let me keep my undies on :)

Commando. I'm normally a very shy person and was really nervous about people seeing me in the buff, but I got over it very quickly. I figure that the doctors and nurses have seen it all before anyway. Plus, once the pre-surgery happy meds started kicking in, I didn't really care what happened anymore.

I had nothing on under the gown, but I had two nurses who were really good about laying me down and putting warm blankets on me before removing the gown. Then they put me under before they took anything off, so I was never "naked" while conscious. For some reason it made a difference for me since I wasn't alert when they saw me naked.....weird?

My bird was flying free!!! When I woke up my boo boo (4 year old daughter terms) felt weird. I ventured down under and there was a catheter. I was told that most likely I would not have one. No biggy one less thing to do.

I'm with ya Carrie. They couldva made it an extreme make over! A little off here a little off there! I would have loved coming to with my boobs standing up like they used to instead of laying over like 2 old hound dogs! LOL LOL. OOO an a wax and some Lipo too. They would have had to tell me who I was. :drool:

As far as the original post. I was naked.. and I asked my nurse to make sure that I was good and asleep before they displayed all my glory.

      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
