Hello I'm having surgery TT w/ MR on 4/19. My doctors orders state no Vitamin E. I eat a Keto diet and drink Bai Coconut waters to keep my electrolytes in check to avoid headaches amongst other symptoms. I am 1 week out before surgery and realized that they have 10% daily allotment of Vitamin E. Did I mess myself up? I drink 1-2 a day. Each bottle has 2 servings, so on days I drink 2 that would be 40% of my DRV. Should I stop drinking them?
I will have a tummy tuck along with liposuction done next month. In my what not to do list I was told not to take vitamin E. 22.5 IU's of Vitamin E are in the multivitamin tablets I have been taking. I have since stopped taking it, but What does vitamin E do to a person who plans to have this type of surgery?
I had a tummy tuck, lipo on my sides, flanks. bra roll 8 weeks ago. In the first week I developed a scab and open wound at lowest point of incision, mid pelvis. At its largest it was 5-6 inches wide, 3-4 high, now 2.5 inches wide and 2 high. My dr said stop wearing binder and no compression. I come in 2x week for xeroform and bandage. He says I have no other options and too soon for silicone for scars but vitamin E oil is ok. Not sure I trust his judgment at this point on treatment or results
Do the silicone strips make a difference in the healing of the scar as are they worth the investment? Would love the brands you recommend also. My surgeon just recommends massaging bio oil which I am doing plus a mixture of vit e capsules and coconut oil? Thank you. I'm 5 weeks po. I am not able to place anything on the front section yet.
I am 6 weeks post op from a tummy tuck. I have this area that is red and irritated. My surgeon is on vacation and has a PA filling in for him. I saw her yesterday and she told me to put vitamin e on it. Today it started oozing fluid. I have an appt to see her again on Tuesday. Am I ok to wait that long?
5 weeks post tt, today. While massaging my scar with Vitamin E, I felt several pops. I was left feeling a bit tender in places, almost like I will be a bit bruised, tomorrow. Was this scar tissue or were these internal incision stitches and if they were stitches, is 5 weeks passed the point of worry, if the stitches were to pop?
