Ok, so my stomach has been getting itchy. I Was also itchy where my c-section scar is. So, I Was scratching it and then I rubbed my nose and My finger smelled. I only scratched under my stomach where the cut/scar is. I have showered everyday since surgery so I am not dirty. I don't think this has anything Do do with the band. It's not even close to The cuts and holes they made. It looks like I have a few bumps on the scar. I have to go back to The ob but what the heck is up with that odor?! This is A first for me!

It is probably from moisture trapped in the folds. Can cause rashes/infections that have icky odors. Dry thoroughly and use a powder- baby powder does fine- just to make sure you're really dry there. Probably nothing to do with the band.

I think all the stuff they pump into you during surgery tends to leach out too.

That Lortab made my urine stink,tmi lol

Mine itches all around the port I put benadryl on it last night. It's not the actual incision but all around it and the other incision the little ones are ok. It seems to have a couple of bumps. I wonder if it was a reaction to steristrips, but it did not start right away.

Thank You ladies. Going to do this after I shower today. I normally lift up my stomach to dry under there. Maybe I haven't since surgery because I am sore. Thanks again for all the advice. I don't know what I would do without all this love and support!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
