Hey guys Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. I am 3 weeks post op and for a week now I have had this red, dry splotchy rash just develop out of no where. It started on my shoulders and is literally going everywhere now. I totally get it's prob got something to do with my vitamins and nutrients etc but wondered if anyone else got this? So hard to know what to do and put on it, my doctor doesn't have a clue and not seeing my surgeon till next week. Thanks Sent from my SM-G988B using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey, I had my surgery on the 3rd June, and I haven't had a bowel movement either. I brought it up with my surgeon and he said it can take 10-14 days to have one. After surgery sometimes our bowel goes to "sleep" and takes a little bit to wake up again. Im going to wait till about the 3 week mark and then will let my surgeon know if I still have not gone. Hope your recovery is going well!
