The very best stuff is Aquaphor (by Eucerin) - you can ask for it at the

drugstore either at the pharmacy counter or cosmetics counter. I was

fortunate enough that a very good friend of mine sent me a big tub of it. I

still use it from time to time for chapped skin.

Sara,

I believe the stuff that was recommended to me is Aquaphor. I haven't

used it, though. At LIJ they gave me some bacitracin based stuff to

use. When I saw my Surgeon at my 1 week post-op appointment, he told

me I was using too much. He said I could use the Aquaphor if I wanted

to, or Vaseline, but that any " every day normal " chapstick/lip gloss

type product would be fine - just something to keep my lips moist not

to drown them in. :)

I hope that helps!

Carol

Sara, you must be the ultimate organizer in real life eh? Keep up the great

attention! How are you going to spend your time in the hospital?

Derrick, don't laugh but I have also put in a lot of thought into

what to do during my hospital stay. I've selected a few music mixes

to listen to and a few easy to read magazines. My hospital stay will

only be 24 hours so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm not really that

organized usually it's just that some form of organization in

prepping for the surgery soothes my nerves even though I know that in

the long run I will just have to go with the flow. As with all things

in life, hardly anything goes 100% to plan.

and Carol - thanx for the advice on aquaphor. Unfortunately I

couldn't find it in any of the pharmacies today - they had every

Eucerin product for wrinkles but not lips. I think I'll wait to get

the stuff LIJ gave Carol and then see how that works.
