Oops... maybe my description was a little too graphic. I had the operation to remove some stones in my kidney. I think the plastic bag was \"just in case\" but nothing actually came out (I think). So they patched me up pretty good

The description of the surgery sounded pretty bad... you mean they did not stitch up completely or even after stitching before the flesh grew, stuff were spilling out? Is that what kidney surgery is like?

Gain more weight?

I've had a surgery for my kidney some years back (10 years?) The puncture was at my left kidney on my back. It's totally gone now (or maybe it's just that I don't feel it or have eyes on my back.) Pretty gross when I had that hole in my back. I had to wear something like a plastic bag to catch anything that comes out. :razz:

(1) Try Dermatix Ultra. But this gel costs over $80 in Singapore. So we bought 2 more from BKK Boots at a fraction of SG's price.

(2) If the keloid bothers you, go for CO2 laser therapy at the dermatologist to reduce redness. There's also the steroid injection to prevent growth and break the bonds of the dense collagen fibres.

My family member has tried (1) and (2). CO2 laser was the most effective.


\"Over-healing'' means hypertrophy. Too much collagen...It is not an old wives' myth! Don't take too much snakehead fish soup! You will get raised keloids, and worse, they might be perpetually pink-red as there're tiny blood vessels below, so said my dermatologist.

It's Strataderm which can be bought from the regular pharmacist.

I actually like confinement food a lot. Depends on what kind of surgery, you might want to take lots of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, red dates, calcium, probiotics.

We always go for Brand’s chicken/fish essence.[/quote]

You can go to the Skin Centre at Thomson. My nephew had a cut in his face & I bought a cream which prevents keloids for healing, just that I forgot the name. Starts with S. Maybe the pharmacists there can advice. It was a cut fr one of those hard plastic & cut was really jagged coz it broke. He’s a handsome chap as ever now.

Believe surgeon can prescribe the cream to prevent keloid. It did not work for me though. I used silicon gel plaster instead over the wound to flatten it - after wound has healed.

I avoid taking food that promote healing as am prone to over-healing.

If there already an old scar..a line..any idea to lessen the 'depth' of the line?

All my life I only know the food required to help in recovering from a surgery is fish essence. Used to watch the senior ladies in the extended family boiled the actual fish soup from snakefish but these days I only buy bottled ones.

Questions:

1. Any other food can help in faster recovery of the cut after an operation?

2. For the bottled fish essence, I have bought Eu Ren Sang and New Moon ones before but all as gifts. Anyone who has consumed these or any other brands can shed some light on which brand works best for you?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the food list....raw food is an important point for me who loves raw fish!! lol

Oh yes, it didn't occur to me about creams... I think it is important to avoid keloids? Maybe gotta go scout around for one or ask the doctor to prescribe.

I would buy Fish Essence (no particular brand).
Avoid prawns, crabs or raw food.

Pple said Vit E cream can help with the scar of the cut.
