I had the same thing but it was an reaction from the blood thinner shots. They where very ichy but tried very hard to not scratch it. I used benadryl and it finally went away after a week ..but still can see the marks where the rash was.
I'm on my 10th day of Pre-Op diet..alittle hard but getting threw with it. Surgery day is Sep 6th and Ive already have all my waters protein drinks and protein drink and powders and broths ready. I'm just alittle scared of the pain after and I come out of this fine. I have had family members not come home from simply hospital procedures but I have friends and family cheering me on.
