I just had my shower with the hibiclens stuff they told me to use, but while I was in there (before I used it) I did a hair mask. Then when IO got out I did a face mask and used toner and serum and moisturizer (my "special occasion" stuff, not my daily ones). I also exfoliated my lips and have on a lip mask. I know I can't have anything on my face when I leave for surgery, but I kind of wanted to go all out tonight. I can't have nail polish on, but I was told i can paint my toes, so I did that, too. I also have foot masks on right now. Not sure why I feel the need to have a mini spa day the night before surgery, but it just seemed like a good idea. Did any of you do this, too?

My surgery center also said no lotions or potions prior to surgery, and honestly, it never occurred to do anything "special" in the shower other than the hibiclens. I hate showers LOL. I only do it because it's sort of required to live in society.

I didn't have to do bowel prep either. Just only clear liquids.

I was mostly just scared I would die during surgery, so I was trying to distract myself. I'm glad it's over with.

Hibiclens is horrible. That’s my review

I have sensitive skin so hibiclens was a no for me. I had to wash in dial antibacterial soap ? ?

I was told 1 oz of milk of magnesia the morning before and 8 oz of apple juice the morning of.

I screwed up the day before and downed 8 oz of milk of magnesia. So I spent the night before surgery vacating every meal I've ever had.

Day after surgery they wanted my to have a bowel movement before discharge and I'm like, I'm going to be here for days before there's anything there.

I have no problem with the hibiclens. I've actually used it in the past for acne break outs.

? That was 2 weeks ago tonight. I went to my nail place and had my nail color removed. My husband and I watched TWO episodes of Magnificent Century. I packed a bag the morning of surgery, showered, used eyebrow color and under eye concealer (in case they misplaced me and thought I should be in the morgue ?????).
I was due at the hospital at 8:20 and we got there at 8. They called me back at about 9:25.
