Hi guys I'm 10 days post op bypass and really have one complaint so far my incisions were itching like crazy no infection no problem The actual healing was fine but the itching drove me crazy

So sorry! I remember what that is like. I itched like crazy for a while but I promise it will go away.

Itching = Healing!!! It is such an annoyance, but I just reminded myself I must be healing really well then. All around the sites I used a non scented very easy on the skin butter (lotion) which helped bring the Itching down a notch.

I'm still itching 6 weeks out.

I had no problems with my incisions. They healed really well a days can hardly see them now. My problem is the gas that came with it. I hate it

I recall my incisions being itchy. I think it could have been the adhesive in the steri strips. The itching went away for me in 2 weeks. Unfortunately I'm still battling sharp pain 4 weeks out. An upper respiratory infection left me with a severe cough, hence the severe pain.
