my issues after surgery

has anybody had their skin peeling or feeling rough even after putting lotion on. I also have some very old wouds that were healed that have started to reopen.

You're not very far postop - yes? Are you getting enough fluids in? If not, the skin is one of the first things (among other things, obviously) that can show a sign of dehydration. One thing I did - while working on getting my fluid intake up was to put a thin layer of baby oil on my skin, let it soak in while I brushed teeth, heated the shower water, etc. and then got in the shower and washed off whatever hadn't soaked in. Helped a LOT. But also, if you're worried you might be dehydrated, do talk to your doc! (((HUGS))) it can get very serious, very quickly!

I had the same issues after surgery. Get one of those little spritz bottles(I found one at Family Dollar) fill it up with baby oil. Once you get out the shower..pat yourself dry and spray all over,rub it in. I then followed up with Aveeno lotion. It worked wonders for my skin.

Buy some baby oil gel and mixed it with your lotion and then apply it works beleive me

thanks guys

Woman, Where have you been? I called three times on Saturday and got the voicemail twice and your son once, saying that you "weren't in". You know I was PANICKING!!!! Like where did she go?!!!!!! I am at Leslie's house right now. If you get this message before 11:00, you can reach me at 770-299-5720 otherwise I should be home after 11:30. I know my sleep schedule was totally backwards after surgery, so whatever time you are up will be fine. My cell phone is temporarily out of commission, until I can get it charged again. CALL ME! Talk to you later Val
