I'm one week post op. I itch so bad, I want to scratch my darn stomach off! From the hair growing back to the incisions healing, I'm about to go nuts! Dammit! Haha

So, my stomach still itches. Inches appear good, with no infection (not oozing or sore). I'm a principal at a middle school. The school nurse said it looks like an allergic reaction to the bandages. Anyone have anything like this?

Where the tape was, it was red and swollen on each incision.

I had an allergic reaction to the sutures and the bandages. It was awful, hydrocortisone cream helped.

Think liquid Benadryl will help?

I'm allergic to the tape they use, too. If you ever have to have tape again? Be sure to tell them to use paper tape. It's not as strong but worth it to not have the allergic reaction.

Mine gets bad enough the skin will actually crack open. If your skin isn't broken, some Benadryl cream helps a lot. Just be careful to only put it where the tape was not on the incision itself.

The incision is sealed. They said that it didn't hurt it.

Oh I had this and then found that I was allergic to all bandage adhesive. It was a big P I T A because I couldnt keep it covered and got infected and ruined a bunch if clothes. The only thing that worked for me was big pieces of gauze and that elastic bandage thing they.gave me after surgery. You can still see where the band aids were even thought my surge/ry was/13

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
