    goalsmasher got a reaction from LisaZar in Keeping surgery a secret? What did you tell others?   
    Same. I had my surgery in October. I told 4 people close to me because I didn't want to be known to the rest of the world as the girl that had the weight loss surgery. A friend that had the surgery said that she felt that way and wished she hadn't shared it with others. I'm a pretty private person, so her comments stuck with me. As I've been losing weight and people ask what I'm doing, I just tell them I'm doing Keto. The bariatric diet is high in Protein and low in carbs, so the diet they see me eating reflects that. Also, I don't feel like I'm lying because I am basically doing keto. Everyone has their own path- just do what's best for you!

    goalsmasher got a reaction from JenaJinx in Post-op rash   
    I was happy to find this thread because I developed a rash on my abdomen 1 week post op. It started out as red, raised, and extremely itchy. It covered the entirety of my lower abdomen, around the incisions and the whole are between them. I took Benadryl 25mg twice and day and put hydrocortisone cream on it for a week. It's almost completely gone now and no longer itches. I showed it to my surgeon today and he said he wasn't worried about it. He didn't say what caused it, but it seems somewhat common from the research I did. Best of luck to any fellow itchy folks... hopefully it resolves like mine has!
