goodfaith is right or you can do some of it yourself. I did it the morning of my surgery before I went to the hospital. I didn't totally shave everything..lol. I kept some up top just down below I made sure I was clean of any hair. I didnt want anyone doing it but me. This was for my laps I had done but either way they still have to go in vaginaly. good luck!! xx Staci

Hi there jamief, I did not have to shave anything, but only trim to a 1/4 of an inch... that's all..... I was glad...!
The hospital or doctor should give you instructions on what to do the last few days before your surgery anyway, so no worries..... lol Take care... Sharon xxx

Do not shave yourself UNLESS told to do so by the pre-op nurse at the hospital. Reason being, you run the risk of nicking yourself and infecting the surgical area. They will take care of shaving you IN the OR as a part of your surgical prep.

Wow! If I had to wait so long for surgery I think I would go mad. When I was told, I set a date 2 weeks later. Enough time for pre-op testing but not enough time for me to worry myself to death. I go in next week. Argh...
