Surgical sites

I was sleeved 6/21/13 everything was going great until they took out my staples at one week post op! I now am discovering a very itchy belly with what appears to be swelling and bumps around my incisions, they are healing well but around them is chaos ! Has anyone else have this? What has helped?

They took out your staples, I never heard that before. As far as I know they went in one time and were done

Did you maybe have tape around your incisions? I didn't have staples on my incisions; I had steristrips. But some people are allergic to the adhesive in medical tape. Hope this helps. And hope it clears up soon!

After they took my staples off they put steri strips on and I think that is when it happened

I had the same reaction except I had sterns trips covering my incisions and once they fell off I developed some irritation around the sites. Itching, redness and a little swelling because I was scratching. I used neosporin around and it cleared up. I hope this help.

Remember not to scratch. try to "pat" the itch. it really helps
