  1. rash around incision sites??

    rshrn77 replied to kgranite79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I have had a flat rash around my upper torso since 2 days post band. When I get hot it itches like crazy. I just have the steristrips on now. I do have a reaction to the nylon tape they use. I thought it might be from my pain med...I am 8 days banded. I use hydrocortisone cream when it gets bad. I would definitely call the doctor because this should not still be there after a month! Good luck.

  2. Can we chew Gum?

    I have been using straws but I have been wondering if sf gum or mints would be OK. I get a terrible taste in my mouth and brush my teeth and tounge frequently. Guess I will stop straws. There are so many unwritten rules to this. I had my band on 9/12.
