stomach rash
Whichever it is it is extremely important to keep the are clean and dry! Use mild and gentle soaps like dove in the shower and when you get out make sure you dry between the folds of skin very very well. Also wear cotton panties and maybe get a ssize larger so you can tuck them under your belly so you don't have all the skin on skin contact. If you get boils in addition to the chaffing or rash there are topical antibiotic lotions like clindamycin, special soaps, as sulfur based antibiotics that can be taken orally. I've lost 42 lbs and had a bad flare up with chaffing and just being inflamed and red and sore last week an I used hydrocortisone and slept with no underwear on in like this spread eagle position I kid you not it was the only relief I could get!! But I think the most important is using mild soaps and keeping the area clean and dry! And cotton panties! Tuck those suckers.

Marijuana
I live in oregon but buy a CBD tincture from a dispensary. They extract the CBD using vegetable glycerine, it doesn't contain any thc and does wonders for pain and people with seizures.

Marijuana
I plan on partaking the day I get home from the hospital but will avoid methods that make me cough until I feel comfortable. I'll use a vaporizer or oil pen or a tincture until fully healed.

Marijuana
I haven't told my surgeon just because I didn't feel it was necessary or his business honestly. My primary care physician knows though because I have my medical marijuana card and I had her fax my records to a clinic otherwise she probably wouldn't know either.

Anyone have the Mirena?
I was wondering about that! I emailed my obgyn and let her know what was going on and she thinks I might be expelling my mirena and she said if he puts another one in that the chances I'll expel that one are 30% higher. I can't take the pills they make me bat shit crazy... So I may need to look into that.

Marijuana
It would have been better to just have left it alone like it has been, instead you have the audacity to come on here and use the term redneck hillbillies. Quit stirring the pot.

GASTRIC SLEEVE OR GASTRIC BYPASS... MIXED EMOTIONS
Bread and chocolate are what got me to where I am, I avoid them like the plague now. But a year ago, give me a whole loaf of French bread and some butter for dinner and I am good to go! Lol

Got my date!
Thanks so much, I am excited! I will also have a new job waiting for me after surgery. Things are finally beginning to look up. The last two years I have had to make a ton of sacrifices to keep my head barely above water. My new career will give me financial stability and I won't have to live paycheck to paycheck anymore. Great things to come :-)
