Well finally went back to the doctor and the nurse practioner decided to send me to the urgent care to get a prednisone shot to stop the allergic reaction. I went to urgent care and they gave me the shot(in the butox)LOL!! And gave me prednisone by mouth for another 10 days, hydroxyzine for the itching which i have not experienced since the shot and she threw in some topical cream to put on the spots that were red around my incisions and they are no longer that color and this all happened on Friday March 18th. Thanks god for good physicians and meds. No longer Itchy!!!:D

I had a rash after my surgery that turned out to be ringworm. My sister works at the hospital and said it's not unusual for people to leave with an infection of something or other. Ringworm is a fungus that is in soil. Well, when they moved me around, they put my shoes right on top of my blanket. Voila! I was told it was my fault for not putting my shoes in the plastic bag - well, duh, I was smart enough not to put my shoes in the same bag with my clothes...

I too am itching everywhere. My surgery was on March 15, 2011. While on the pain meds for a week I felt no itching only on my stomach. I am off the medication but I am itching everywhere. My hands, legs, stomach, back....everywhere. I took benadryl and that is not working. After reading your post, I am going to an allergist. Might even have to go to an urgent care. I really cannot stand this itching.

Yes I recommend going to urgent care and tell them that you are itching and think it is the allergic reaction because they will give you a shot and some meds after that instantly i was cured!! LOL!!! Havent had a itch since...Hope all works out because that itchy feeling is not a good feeling at all! Good Luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
