To Shave or not to Shave

[EricO]

Hi Guys

I am going in for the operation this week...

Can those of you who have gone through the op give me some advice?  Did you shave your chest prior to surgery.

Is there a requirement to shave the area (I am quite hairy)?

Will the people at the hospital do it for you or is it best to do it yourself?

What is the consensus of opinion?

Cheers chaps

personally i would shave the hair off. i dont have any bodyhair and it hurt me a bit gettin the bandages off.

Well I am hairy and I didn't shave, nor was I asked to shave any body hair and I woke up from the operation with all hair intact..........  so I assume it isn't mandatory.
