I'm in PDX. I had my RNY at Legacy with OWLS 8 days ago.

They gave me a packet, but I also had to speak to the nutritionist prior to discharge. At that time, she quizzed me to make certain I understood everything in the packet, and checked on what I had at home already.

Did any of .you have to take Milk of Magnesia the day before surgery? That is my order, Clear Liquids only tomorrow and to take it at 5 pm. I'm so afraid I'll be pooping on the operating table the next day

Sounds like a Nair episode I had on one such sensitive area

I once Nair'd my arm pits, but I have really coarse hair. I thought, "No problem! I'll just leave it on a little longer." Well, it ate away all of my flesh and left the hair. So for a week, I couldn't lower my arms, my hairy, hairy arms.

That was a pity party, trust me.

Hi all- i just thought I would share this little tidbit of info with you. Many of you- like me- have/had suffered from horrid stinky skin irritations in the folds of our skin.

Mine were always under my breasts, and it actually can hurt. They are actually yeast infections- warm, moist dark areas are havens for yeast to grow.

Anyway, after years of trying everything, I finally found that any cream with Zinc Oxide- think Desitin baby rash cream- will knock it out- FAST. Even straight Zinc Oxide like you buy for sun block works.

Obviously keeping the area clean and dry is important, but these nasty irritations always rear their ugly heads and I wanted to let you all know that any OTC baby butt cream with zinc oxide will clear you up in a day.

That's it!

Also, tea tree oil is very effective against fungal infections. Trader Joe's has a tea tree body wash that really helps before the barrier cream. Just be careful washing more "sensitive" areas with it...it can burn like the fires of hell down there...
