Anyone use this while healing from surgery? Or is it better to wait until healed? How soon post op did you start using it? I was wondering if this could actually help the healing process since Aloe is so good for the stomach.

I'm sure you're talking about spreading the aloe on the incision sites and not eating it? anyway, I used vitamin E cream from the minute that the sterile dressings came off. You can't even find three of my five sites without really, really looking. I'm only 5 1/2 weeks out of surgery(s).

That's good that you got rid of those scars already. But no I was talking about drinking it. Dessart of Lily's Aloe Vera inner leaf you drink it's not for skin. It's good for preventing ulcers. I'm just not sure if the stomach could handle it post op because the taste is horrible..

I would talk to Dr B or your NP at your next visit - they will give you a PPI to help with the acid and prevent ulcers -

Highest weight 265/ Surgery weight 256/ Goal weight 160

Hi Nicole, Thanks for the advice! Looks like you lost a lot of weight since I last spoke to you on OH. Way to go!! I hope we can meet one day since we are right around the corner. Or if not at a support group. Take care.
