underpants in the O.R. or commando?

LISTEN, these are the questions I need answered to keep my mind off the more serious aspects right now!

They wouldn't let me wear underpants. They wouldn't let me wear anything, not even nail polish.

Commando....

[SummerAgain 0]

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 my period also and I begged them to let me keep my panties on and they did....LOL...I told them I would bleed all over the table if they didn't LOL!

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.

This is thread is too funny!!! I can picture the doctors saying damn the lapband, how about a breast lift, Lipo and a wax!

[Carrie_C 9]

Well, they could have did all of that too if they wanted!!

[caricap 0]

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.
