I had my surgery Feb 1st of 2016....have lost roughly 60 pounds BUT my head and my back are itching now like crazy?
I have hair loss also which my doctor says happens from weight loss sometimes (lucky me
) but I did not have this horrible itching on my back before surgery....its so wierd.... exercise makes it happen and now its getting warm outside I found even just the temperature will make me slightly sweat and the itching starts again.
AS soon as I get in shade with a bit of a breeze it goes away but its kind of maddening in the sun and with people around for sure.
Can anyone advise me of what this could be and how they dealt with it?
My bloodwork for my post op appointment looked great so I am a little confused what this could be.
Thanks SO much for your time and advise
