Hello all my post oppers;) had my pre op appt and my dr gave me the option of how I would like my incisions covered after surgery. So what's your experince. My options are gauze covered with tegederm ( a clear dressing) or the glue dermabond so what's your experience?

I have had 4 laparoscopic procedures & the dermabond glue was the best, in my opinion.

My doctor also used the glue. Glad he did. It disappears and my incisions are healing nicely.

My doctor used the glue. Turned out I was allergic to it. My large incision still isn't healed(I am 9 weeks post op). I also had massive itching and rash ( doctor thinks is from the glue) that showed up about two weeks after surgery. It's cool that the doctor gives you the option.

Hydrocortisone cream helped and was approved by my DR, but mostly just had to wait it out, and try not to scratch. My main incision still isn't healed all the way, it is making progress though.

      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.
