Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  Shaving
Ok, I know that someone had posted something about the difference in shaving pre-op to post op. At the time I didnt notice anything different, but NOW...it is like I am 15 again and learning how to shave! From my under arms to my shins!!! I can not get out of the shower without missing skin due to the shape difference!!! I have these huge pit areas under my arms now and all those shin bones that just get in the way! ARGHHHHHHHH. Anyone got any bandaids??? LOLOLOL Does anyone else have this PROBLEM?  |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Can't say that I do. After a certain age I stopped growing much hair on my legs. Just is very sparse patches now. I don't have to shave like a maniac anymore. Now they all just grow on my chin!!! Thank goodness for Tweezees!

I have been using Nair ... though I am not to crazy about the smell after the first day. But I sure do have smooth legs in six minutes or less, with no cuts.

Apparently I have bony knees and just rediscovered this shaving now that the padding has been reduced! I keep nicking that darn knee bone! It is so much easier to shave now overall, I can bend my leg up and just bend over it and shave away- or paint my toes- whichever I want! Such a great feeling!
