Hey ladies, thought I would join in here. I was sleeved a bit later, Feb 29th, but am close in age and starting weight. Also female, 34 years old, SW 280, CW 259. Things are going well so far for me, just trying to get all the Protein, liquids and walking in that I can. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

NP said I was allergic to something...and I am using cortisone cream and taking kids dissolvable benedryl for now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was thinking about taking some benedryl. Maybe the childrens liquid, but was unsure...i will see what they say tomorrow at my 10 day post-op. Glad to know I am not the only one allergic to weird stuff . Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know I am allergic to something in steri-strips (not adhesive in general), but I wonder what they put on me that is causing this. I've never had a reaction to plain old medical tape, so it will be interesting to find out what it was and add it to my list of weird allergies. I am also allergic to something in topical antibiotic cream. So weird. I just hope it isn't anything to worry about and goes away quickly. So itchy!

I had surgery Feb 29th. I think I am allergic to something. I Have two red stripes going down my stomach (one on the right and one on the left). Getting small red bumps around them as well. Very itchy. Anyone else have this happen? Post op is Thursday, unless it gets worse I am just waiting to see Dr then. Any insight is welcome. Just using cortisone cream to control itching for now.

Thanks everyone! I am hoping to be in on some meals and just ask for lean Protein and veggies when other people cook. When I cook it will be easy. So 6 weeks is plenty of time? Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal

Just got sleeved Monday. If you could have had 8 weeks before going back to full duty would you have chosen that? Curious. I am definitely nervous about going back to eating at the station too. Any advice? Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal

I struggled yesterday, so they kept me an extra day. Should be going home shortly. Definitely didn't enjoy the pain and nausea, but today has been good so far! Congratulations everyone!!! Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal

I think it will be like Christmas as a kid for me. I am going to try and go to bed early so morning will come faster the night before! But who knows what I will really be like. Still a week to go! I love Niagara Falls, but I don't get out that way much anymore. Try and relax tonight! I will be thinking about you tomorrow. Let me know how it goes when you feel up to it!
