Are you itchy all over, or just at your incisions? Do you have a rash? My incisions are itchy, and I think that is normal... Other than that.. Not sure.. If it gets worse, I'd maybe call your surgeon to see if it is something to be concerned about, or if there is something you can take for relief.

Are you taking any new medications? New soaps, lotions, foods? Sounds like it may be allergic reaction.

Some itching is normal. Mine itched a lot as well as it healed! Just be careful not to open any wounds, and wash your hands frequently to keep from getting an infection.

I get itchy with heat or in the sun. It has improved. I am almost 1 month post op. Mostly on arms and upper legs. If i thought about it the itching would increase. Now I try not to think about it and usually ok i walk from car to work or shops and rarely experience this anymore but this was bad at 1 to 2 weeks.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
