Okay...I don't want to sound like a baby,but my belly button has an owie. One of the incisions is right above my belly button. It's been over a month and it still hasn't healed. My waistband rubs on it and causes it to be sore. I've tried putting a bandaid or gauze on it to pad it, but it just won't heal. Has anyone else had this problem?

Call your doc. You do not want it to get infected.

I had that with my side one. I cleaned it with perixide and then would put the thick brown (corn pad protector) band aide on. Then I would change it once weekly. It is the same as a duoderm. My side one ended up healing the best out of all of mine now.

Mine took a while to heal too but I was cut into twice so it was a little bigger. Actually, I was fighting with it about two months because I the dress pants I wore for work. The darn button was right there. I finally had to cover mine as well and used a little Neosporin.

And yes, if it is red, puffy or ‘hot’ call your Dr immediately so you don’t get an infection.

      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...

        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.
