I had surgery on the 30th of January and have a rash on the back of my hands that developed a few days ago. At first I thought it was dry skin but now it looks like an allergic reaction to something. I feel it may be the nexium. Anybody else have the same issue? What was the cause?

I got a bad hive like rash on my stomach and legs right after the surgery. It lasted about a week. I took Benadryl and that helped with the itch. I call my doctors office a few times about it and they weren't very concerned, just said it would go away with time.

My hubby had this same thing happen with Percocet. It went away after a few days and of ourselves when he stopped the percocets.

The same thing happened to me, it was from the pain meds. I went to the dr and he told me he sees this occasionally and after stopping the pain meds it should go away- and it did!!

I had a rash too. It wasn't my meds. Because I have stayed on all of them and no rash. I did wear a binder around my torso - for the first week- I quit wearing it cuz i thought it might be causing me to have this itchy rash. The rash went away 2 days after that.

I had slight rash and itching also. Doc said when body is healing it produces histamines. Took Benadryl for two days and it went away.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
