I was banded July 12! Most of my bandages have come off. my incisions are very itchy and red around the outside because I keep scratching. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

i feel ya. after i got staples taken out on the 16th, they put the strips on and they had not fallen off yet but they sure are itching. i was banded on the 10th. Do you every get a stinging pinching pain near your stomach. This weekend i don't know if i moved wrong or what but man that hurt and then it happen a couple times again. just curious.

itching means (healing). not to worry

if you feel slight pain (or tender) that could mean the scar tissue

is forming around the port site. i am sure you are fine. but any concerns, call your doctor and ask them and let it ease your mind. all the best.

In my case I had a severe allergic reaction to the surgical glue. I was itching so bad and it felt like I was itching in my stomach. It was awful. I too thought it was just healing but instead it was a day at the hospital. Keep an eye on how red they get! I develope hives, blisters, and burning out of nowhere.
