Stop Infections- the Most Common Surgical Complication!
Some more Folks with surgeries coming up are popping on everyday—
So I thought I’d drop out a bit of stuff
Specifically related to the "last minute preps" for surgery.
This one has to do with prevention of infections.
Infections Are, (ranging from very mild - To severe,)
the most common WLS complication...
I’ve had 8 procedures in the last 5 years
Ranging from Open Heart Valve Replacement
To simple Hernia Repair.
And yet-
NO Incision Infections!
What are the Odds?!
Not Great if left un-tampered with…..
But-
I’m a bit of a Germ Hater,
And I think my Pre-Surgery actions
May have contributed to not having the problem of infections.
So here’s what worked for me-

I am a big believer in hand washing. Do not touch any of your incisions, if you have not washed your hands properly! That means with soup and water and you should was for the length of time it takes you to go through the happy birthday song in your head twice.
If you have a dressing in place do not peak at the incisions, unless your doctor tells you to remove the dressings. Once you are approved to take a shower, take one and gently wash with soap.
If you have been prescribed antibiotics, take them as instructed and finish the complete dose.
