Yes. It was some kind of Clorox antibacterial soap. I had to use it the night before and the morning of surgery.

In non bariatric surgeries in the past I had to bathe with Hibiclens Soap, it is similar to what doctors use to scrub in with. just don't let it touch your private parts as it burns like hades.. LOL.

I just had to take two showers with regular antibacterial soap the night before surgery. Nothing special.

Don't know what they will use for,me, I'm allergic to Hibiclens, last surgery I looked like someone had deliberately burned me. And it felt like Satan had scrubbed,me there.😖 Hard convincing the world🌏 I'm a delicate flower when I have a plowhorse figure.

The little bottle of soap everyone's talking about is Chlorhexidine. Hibiclens is a brand name of Chlorhexidine soap.

It's wonderful stuff. Very antibacterial and very anti fungal. It's particularly effective on skin fold yeast. Don't forget to do your belly button.

Interesting side note...it's also used in drinking Water to treat birds with respiratory infections.

My doc in Illinois (when I chickened out) had me bathe with a surgical soap.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
