Ask your doc!! Mine told me to avoid showering or washing the incisional areas for a certain length of time.

I agree with Plain (as usual, sigh! ) LOL anyway

soap won't infect you, germs infect you. But while you are healing most surgeons tell you to NOT scrub or wash your surgical sites. I was told to just let Water wash over them. Your doc can guide you!

Yepyep. I was just told anti-bacterial. I stayed away from anything scented. I just got Dial as well. I was told to use a washcloth and gently clean AROUND my incisions but not on them, and then to squeeze the washcloth (wring it out) over them before rinsing them off, and to not actually clean them.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
