I just have some questions

Ok so I was sleeved on 8/26, and I am about 11 days out. I am just having a few issues, my first one is that my incisions were sealed up with that dermabond stuff, and I am getting little sore, itchy red bumps all around the incisions, I called my doc's office and they haven't called back yet <_< So I'm just wondering if this is typical, like a contact reaction to the dermabond, or is it something I should be worried about?

My second issue is that it seems that I am constantly nauseated, I am nauseous after I drink Water, after I eat, if I don't put anything in my tummy, I am just constantly nauseous. I was finally able to start going to the bathroom yesterday, so I thought maybe that was why I was nauseous, but it's still hanging around today. I took my prilosec this morning and I feel awful like I wanna puke. Idk what is causing this, but it is incredibly frustrating. I am on full liquids till next Monday, then I start on purees. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this?

Lastly, I weighed myself yesterday and I had only lost 1lb since Fri, and that doesn't seem like a big deal I guess, but last week I was losing at least a lb a day, if not more! Did I do something wrong, or is this normal?

Thanks in Advance for any advice!!

Sarah

My doctor prescibed me generic zofran for nausea and its great stuff! I can take it every 6 hours for nausea. I only take it in the mornings with my acid reducer though.. I dont seem to need it in the afternoons yet. It was a lifesaver for me. Ask your doctor for it.

Ok, thanks!! Did you have dermabond too?

yes, I had dermabond too. I also had steristrips on top of that. They turned red around them and burned so my doctor took them off at two weeks. The glue from the strips and the dermabond just turned black and was sticky like tape. It didnt get red bumps on it. I finally got it all off after another week. Good luck to you on that. I hated it.

Ok, I really hope I can get in touch with my doc, I don't think I need to go to the ER, but it is definitely uncomfortable.

You might be developing an allergy to the glue. I dont think its serious, just seriously annoying!
