Due For Surgery Of Gallbladder Removal. Suggested Using Hibiclens, Not To Shave Beneath Neck, Taking Milk Of Magnesia. Explain
Hi,
I am undergoing removal of my gallbladder tomorrow. Instructed to use Hibiclens and not shave beneath my neck. If I do shave during the use of regular soap products before the Hibiclens application, will the Hibiclens cause an irritation to my legs and underarms? Also, I was instructed to take 2 oz of Milk of Magnesia today. What purpose does the MOM serve for gallbladder surgery?
Thanks! Susan

Hi, milk of magnesia is a mild laxative and carminative , so it will act to clear the bowels, slowly, with out wild movements of the intestines. It may help the surgeon to approach the part to be operated.
