itchy rash-like annoyance...?



Recommended Posts

Next teusday i will be 2 weeks post op! I am looking forward to seeing my surgeon because i think im doing great! It has not been as hard as i thought it was gonna be. The one weird thing im experiencing is that im getting a little bit of a rash on my belly. Not on my incisions but on the "spare tire" portion of my belly. Has anybody else experienced this

I got a bad rash where the tape was holding the gauze on my incision then it spread plus my tummy shrinking with weight loss made it super itchy I just used hydrocortizone cream for a few days

They drape things around your incision, you could be suffering an allergic reaction to that. I have 6 incisions, 2 have healed perfectly, 4 look crappy and almost infected. I called the doctor and they brought me in and looked at it, they just told me to take an extra shower (so two showers/day)

Keep am eye on it.. You don't want an infection.

Also, she told me no creams on the incisions.

      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! 😞
