I remember reading how someone got more than one use out of each vial. Any suggestions? And where do you buy it? Tried Amazon, but only business accounts can order.

Hi there, so you can get it on Medical Monks or Vitality Medical. And no, you cannot use it more than once.

I used to use it often, and you can only use it once. The tip dries up, and there really isn't a lot in a little vial. I got it from my ostomy supplier here in Canada. It's amazing stuff.

In both of my cases, I had no choice. It was surgery or be put 6 feet under! I thank God that He has been with me all these times. Without Him, I never would have known what to do and might not have gone to the hospital when I did. I don't know if you have had your surgery or not yet but I hope you will hang out on this website when you are done. I have learned a great deal through the people here and it is so great having others who have had the same thing done and been through what you are about to or have gone through. The only thing I have turned down is a reversal of the ileostomy. When the doctors did the emergency rebuilding of my original ileostomy this last February, I told them I did not want to go through this again. My doctor told me at that time that I was no longer a candidate for the reversal. In a way, I was very relieved. The last three years of my life have been a nightmare for me. I do not want to go through any of it again. If you wish to be rehooked up and they say you are a good choice for that, research it carefully. Every surgery I have ever had except for Old and New Maxine and the emergency surgery on my broken foot, I have spent weeks researching. I recently had my C5 C6 disk in my neck replaced with an artificial one. I went to my pre-op with 2 pages of questions for the doctor. I knew everything that they were going to do and could talk intelligently with them. I always try to research my adversaries! Don't cancel your surgery. It is nice not to have to suffer any longer with horrible pain. We all had to change a few things around when we had our surgeries but in the long run, most of us are glad we did it. I know I am. Good luck to you!

Thanks for that tip on where to buy Marathon. My company, where I get my supplies, stopped carrying Marathon, and I have been looking all over for it. I don't use it unless my skin is broken out; otherwise, I just use a regular skin prep wipe. But I have one Marathon left from when they did carry it. So I appreciate knowing where to get more if/when I need it.

Of course... I hate when they stop carrying things that we need.
