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, without wild movements of the intestines. It may help the surgeon to approach the part to be operated.  You about the things but don't get tense about the things.  Thank you.
