What's hiba cleanse?

Hibiclense is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial skin cleanser. This product continues to kill germs up to 6 hours after washing. It prevents skin infections thereby reducing the risk of cross-infection. Has antiseptic activity and a persistent antimicrobial effect with rapid bacterial activity against a wide range of microorganisms.

It is used to cleanse your skin/surgical site prior to surgery to prevent/reduce the chance of getting an infection.

What's hiba cleanse?

It looks like iodine. Its yellow. Cleans and it's like an antibacterial. You use it the morning of your surgery. You scrub your skin(where you're having surgery) with it.

I'm pre-op, so not sure what my Dr will have me use. I'm a medical professional and am very familiar with this product (and others like it). Your Dr will most likely tell you want he/she wants you to use. Some physicians only have you use an antibacterial soap the night before and the morning of surgery. It just varies from surgeon to surgeon; ask yours if you aren't sure.

You can get it at Walgreens, CVS, and most other stores that have pharmacies.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
