My entire tummy is itching! And the incisions seem sore today, whereas last week after surgery there wasn't much pain :( I'm right there with ya.

It's very odd -- my incisions (or areas very near) them have all been more painful feeling. I thought it was just one area yesterday, but it's really all them today. I'm calling my Dr tomorrow, just to be more certain.

Hopefully it means we are all healing up!

The itching drove me crazy too - an ice pack might help.

I experienced the same thing 5 days after surgery. I figured it was because they were healing so I started applying Neosporin on them and it helped.

When I was banded in 2009 the stitches were intolerably itchy. Turned out I developed an allergy to the adhesive in the bandages! take a closer look and see if the area where the adhesive is touching your skin is red and irritated--could be the problem...

I haven't had surgery yet but two c-sections taught me the best way to relieve the itching is patting the insisions. Nothing hard but patting them rapidly will male the itching go away.

Wow, same here. I am 11 days post op, and last night and today.... my incisions are DRIVING ME NUTS. I just want to scratch them so bad. I'm patting them, and just trying to ignore it but it's bad. @@BostonHopeful that is great advice, I noticed last night that most of my incisisions have a slight redness and irritation that I didn't have last week. During my one week appt, my doctor stated the adhesive can start coming off so I think i'll start slowly peeling them away. Hope we find relief soon!

The itching is such a pain! Took everything I had not to go scratching! I had surgical glue on my incisions and I was so glad when it finally came off!

Update: I went to my follow up today and it turns out I had an allergic reaction to the surgical glue. My dr prescribed my a pill to take to clear it up.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
