For the last week I've been itching ALOT on my stomach and under my upper arms. My 3 incisions are basically healed and look really well! I'm not dehydrated and I just don't know what it is! And this morning I woke up and was itching and looked at my stomach and it has small tiny bumps where I've been itching?!? I don't know what to think

Happens to a lot of people. I started developing a rash I think it was almost a week out. My surgeon said sometimes people get a reaction to the adhesives and stuff they put on your stomach (contact dermatitis). I was told to take some Benadyl, which did help.

I had the same thing and heard of others as well. I think sometimes it can be from the anesthesia.

Thank goodness! I thought I was going crazy! I am so itchy in the same places and have these bumps too! They go away right? I am 3 weeks out.

I'm 5 weeks out and have developed a three inch itchy spot just below my hairline on the back of my neck & two spots the size of dimes between my breasts in the bra band area. It's driving me crazy. I've gotten hives from supplements several years ago and wondering if this could be the problem.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
