I noticed on the pamphlet that you can shower before the surgery but can't apply body lotion etc. What about deodorant; can you apply it?

I wouldn't, just in case. I don't know whether it matters or not, but better safe than sorry! Just try not to work up a sweat before you go in ;)

I was told no lotions/deodorant at all. Just have a good shower the morning of surgery, towel off and be on your way. You can freshen up afterwards, but it will probably be the last thing on your mind.

No deodorant for me in Ottawa either. No lotions, deodorants, creams, anything at all.

Hope this helps you!
