Anyone try Aloe Vera juice?

Since it's touted to be beneficial in healing ulcers, anyone try it post op to help soothe your new sleeve and help heal your incision? Anyone ask their nut/surgeon about it? I'm going to, but Im still two months pre-op and just curious.

I used aloe vera juice on my scalp during chemo. I'm not sure if it helped with hair loss (I lost more than half my hair) but it soothed my scalp and supposedly made for a more hospitable environment for regrowth.

Interesting...

I use it regularly because I take Excedrins and once got ulcers. Only use George's Aloe Vera juice because it has absolutely no taste to it, tastes like Water, unless you don't mind the taste. I can't see it hurting but ask your doctor. I use 4 oz a day. Health food or amazon sells it.
