It took 2 weeks for my itching to go away, but mine was from the surgical glue the doc sewed me up with. If you take rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and go over the places where the tape was it'll get the extra glue off. I'm also allergic to adhesive in tapes and bandaids.

Thanks! Yes the same surgeon did both of my surgeries too. He's very thorough so I redid the EGD and swallow test and had the ultrasound for the gallbladder. He wanted to double check that it was just the gallbladder causing me trouble.

Now I'm having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics they put me on so all 8 of my incisions are itching like crazy.

Thank you so much! This has been so rough on my family. Especially my 16 month old daughter who is still breastfeeding. I'm ready to feel normal again.

Hi everyone. I'm super bummed. I had the sleeve on June 24th so I'm about 3.5 weeks out from that. Last week I got really sick. Couldn't hold anything down. I got dangerously dehydrated and was hospitalized. My gallbladder was removed on Friday. Now I've got more incision sights and I feel like I'm back at square one with pain. I've got 2 weeks of lifting restrictions again too. Anybody else had these surgeries so close? I'm kinda feeling sorry for myself. Any tips? I'm terrified to eat or drink now. It's like I can't stop thinking about how bad I felt last week. My dehydration was so bad I couldn't walk because my muscles in legs would cramp up so bad. Now my arms and legs are so sore from the cramping. I feel like I got hit by a train.

I have a problem. I always eat one bite too much and end up in excruciating pain. It doesn't matter if I measure everything out or not. Like I can't even eat 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. Am I alone in this? I need some pointers because I can't keep doing this to myself. 2 weeks post op as of today and on soft foods per doc's orders.

Thank you guys for reassuring me! I don't take them at all during the day anymore, just one dose before bed. Hopefully in a few days I won't need them anymore

Hi! I had my sleeve done on June 24th (8 days ago). I'm probably being way too anxious about things, but how long did everyone stay on their pain meds post surgery? I have been doing great, and not needing anything for pain during the day. Last night I took tylenol instead of the Hycet my doc had prescribed. I was really sore when I woke in the morning. I decided to take the Hycet tonight to guard against that same morning pain tomorrow, but here's the deal- I like the way it makes me feel. I'm so relaxed, not in any discomfort, and just kind of numb. I'm very nervous about starting to become addicted or something. I have a 16 month old daughter that still breastfeeds. Hycet is safe for nursing moms for short periods, but I want to limit her exposure to it obviously. I think having such an active toddler also causes me to be more sore. She rolls all around all over me, kicks her feet, and flails her hands into my belly alot on accident. I try to be super careful, but it's just a hazard of being a mom. Am i overthinking this? My boyfriend says that because of my high pain tolerance, I'm probably in more discomfort than I realize so when I take it it's just a huge relief. I hope he's right. Basically, I'm terrified of becoming an addict. Maybe I'm crazy. Then on the other hand, I want to feel like this because I feel so good right now.

I just got off the phone with a surgeon. They recommended I take immodium. Hubby just ran to the pharmacy and I took it. Hopefully it gets better. I'm doing so well on my liquids I don't want to get dehydrayed.

Good luck! I haven't had too much trouble getting water in, but it has to be room temp and in a cup. If I drink it out of a bottle I get too much air.

I'm so worried right now though. I hope this is normal. I can't take a drink of anything without needing to be literally on the toilet

My doc told me that I could have anything I could suck through a straw (but don't use a straw). Like blended soup and whatnot. Is that not what everyone else is doing? I had surgery on the 24th

I took one on Friday but that's all. This just started today. I wonder if it's related.

TMI I know, but I've had like practically uncontrollable watery diarrhea all day. Is that normal or worth calling the doc about you think?
