Mine were so itchy it drove me crazy! It goes away after a couple of days. Cortizone helped a little. I heard or read somewhere (after they no longer itched of course!) to slap them LIGHTLY. Let me know if it works. Hope the itchies go away for you soon!

Itchy, but that's good. No complications, & they're a lot less gross than I thought they'd be. Can't wait to start Mederma after a but more healing. Try not to germ them up w/your fingers.

Mine didn't fall off... It needed a little help. It didn't hurt and my incisions were healed underneath. Feels so much better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
