skin issues

Has anyone had problems with their skin itching after having sleeve surgery? Mine feels like it is crawling and itching in random spots, driving me nuts.

I think I read some where that this could be from the anesthesia. Hope it stops soon. Yuck!

it can be from anesthesia, it can also be from the lortab. a common side effect is itching. if it bothers you really bad you can take some childrens liquid benidryl. another is to just stop taking the lortab and try childrens tylenol if you dont have to much pain left after surgery.

Yes! Mine too!!!! Mostly my torso...wakes me up at night itching!!!

mine is not caused from anesthesia or pain meds. i am 8 weeks out and never took any pain medicine. How about yourself? My itching is in my knee areas, upper arms. I think its from the fat breaking down but not for sure

i havent heard that one before. mabye? are you taking any other new meds since surgery, like a ppi or an anti nausea pill? you may be allergic to one of those if so. either way if it isnt to bothersome you can still take the childrens beny, or try getting some lotion that is for dry skin, with aloe in it. ps----im not a doctor, but i work in a mental hospital, where i give out medications, and deal with these things all the time with my patients, due to them changing meds all the time, and such.
