Surgery Tomorrow/lotions?



Recommended Posts

Can I wear lotion? I'd prefer to shave my legs in the morning, but I have to wear lotion after shaving! Anyone know? What about deodorant? I haven't had a surgery where I had to stay, and I forgot to ask the nurse!!

No lotions/no makeup...

I was told nothing. They gave me a soap I have to shower with the night before and the morning of. Also no deodorant. It's going to be tough without my wrinkle cream. I asked your not touching my face? The Dr said nothing.

Thanks!! I am already dying here without my lotion! I knew no makeup, but wasn't sure about lotions. :-(

I would use soap to shave the legs, not lotion. The reason is that if you put lotion on your legs...feet, etc...and they need to put sticky pads on your skin to measure heart beat, or other things...or get an iv in your leg, it will make it a little tougher to accomplish, as they would have to scrub the lotion off. I wouldn't want to risk losing precious time for that during surgery. I would avoid lotions altogether...you can lotion up afterward.

Deoderant was not something I'm restricted from...face lotion was not something they said was not to be used, either.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
