Hey all! I have an issue post surgery (8/28) where my finger tips are wrinkly almost like pruney except not from being in water. The skin is also rough and dry. I'm getting about 64oz of water in, mostly sugarfree powerade for the electrolytes but am concerned about my wrinkly fingers, they look like they've aged 40 years. Lotion and creams help the texture but not the pruney tips. Did anyone else struggle with this after surgery? Am I dehydrated even with the 64oz? It would be so hard to get in more water... thx

Hmm, that's interesting, I wonder what's up? I don't have that side-effect but now I'm really curious! Please let us know if your doctor has an answer.
 
I have an appointment next week so I'll update then... hoping this appointment will be the one where he also tells me I can stop taking my diabetes medication :) blood work in 2 days so fingers crossed
