Good morning ladies... Did anyone have to take Carafate and Actigall post surgery? Just curious... What did the doctor prescribe you upon being discharged from the hospital?

No, whats that?

Carafate is taken to prevent ulcers and Actigall is for preventing gallstones.

Anyone using anything for scars or skin firmness during your journey? Heard good reviews on bio oil and palmer's firming butter. Has anyone tried either or came across any other good products or adapted any good regimens?

Not ready to use anything yet, just curious as to what may work for the near future.

I haven't used anything special for the scars, just raw shea butter. I seem to be healing well.

@@rfriend82 - I'm using Scarfade gel. I used it for my face after my shingles. It smoothed out much of the scarring and pox marks from the scabs. I tend to keloid. I had an extra tube and have been using it on my incisions since they scabbed over. All but the 2 biggest ones are completely flat. If they are like the scars on my face the discoloration will fade over time. It's pricey, but worth it to me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
