  • I'm 2 weeks out and my incision started itching a couple days ago. I think thats part of the normal healing process. Maybe use some hydrocortisone cream on it?

Is it the incision sites? Or is it all over the stomach? A friend of mine who has gone through the surgery has found that as she has lost weight, she is very dry and itchy. Uses a good lotion - CeraVe - and hasn't had issues since. But if she misses a day, it's itch city again. Don't know if it is the skin after being stretched, becoming looser or if it is a hormonal shift with the weight loss. Less fat = less estrogen.

If it's the incision sites, are they well healed? Pink?

You can try Vitamin e oil. That helps, also I use coconut oil or olive oil (doesn't smell as nice as coconut oil). I've also made oils and added peppermint, jojaba, and castor oil. These smell good and also are all natural.

I don't use most commercial products because of the chemicals.

Wow. Totally didn't think about coconut oil and I use it for EVERYTHING! I second that recommendation! LOL I love the unfiltered because of the yummy coconut smell.
