Had bypass a week ago and I've been giving myself the blood thinner shots and taking nexium as well as drinking diet snapple... I broke out in hives, any idea why?

something is interacting with meds, I would stop what you are eating and drinking, and let dr know. I know for me, the sugars in some of the sugarfree drinks mess me up make me hyper. take some benedryl if dr says its ok, it's a learning process/journey. There will be times everything seems against you and then there will be times its smooth sailing. take care and let us know how are you doing..

I am so happy for me to see this message... So unhappy for you.

I am on Day 10. I have hives as of yesterday. WANT TO DIE. Also on Lovenox blood thinner shots daily. They gave me one script Hydroxyzine for the anti itch. Problem is one dose outs me down for 12 hours! I got up for work and couldn't drive.

I am basically trying to go back to my old diet which I know didn't cause hives. Stopping all Vitamins and meds except Prilosec and Lovenox. I don't have a choice for the blood thinners.

How are you doing?

My hives went away and came back about a week ago I'm almost 5 weeks post op, they are thinking the nexium so they switched my meds a few days ago... It seems to be getting better but not gone completely
