I had my sleeve on 04-25-17 and I'm experiencing the gross bloated gas feeling still. My sutures itch as well. Maybe this is a common issue?

Does your stomach feel tight and sore?

I was sleeved 4/11 and I still have gas and bloating (mainly from constipation) I also have itching and red rash with bumps that itch like the dickens around my incisions. Three incisions have completely healed and one I scratched the scab so the newest layer hasn't fallen off yet.

Just had my staples out yesterday and was sleeved on18th. The itching is healing so don't worry there tho I know it's bloody annoying lol

Not sure if you guys in USA get it but Milk Of Magnesia is excellent to take for gas relief and help with constipation.

I'be added a photo of what my incision (one of 3) looks like 11 days after surgery and I use Savlon to help them heal.

hmmm. I don't have an incision that looks like that.... All I have is a straight line, no suture holes. My was sewn underneath and the skin was closed with steri-strips. It is interesting how different surgeons are

Yeah I totally agree.

My wound is glued from inside out (apart from staples in stomach) and the surgical clips that were taken out just act as a skin closure to help the glue set.
The wee holes won't scar so that's good, just the inch long ones.

I'm 5 days post op and a few of my incisions itch. They are just healing. Its hard to not scratch them, but I don't want to scratch the glue off.
I don't really have any bloating or gas, probably bc I am passing gas more than I ever did before this surgery.

I was sleeved on the 13th. I don't have any bloating but I did have a reaction to the glue. I was itching and had redness where they glue was at. I say was cuz my dr told me to peel it off. I was a little worried about it but I guess I had stitches as well. Hope it gets better for you. Maybe you have a lot of gas. I used gas x strips and it helped. Good luck

Hmm, not itching but almost a stinging sensation if I touch them a little too aggressively. They aren't red or swollen, and look to be healing well though. As for gas and bloating? YES. I feel like you could pop my tummy like a balloon and I would float off like a Macy's parade balloon. I think I'm due to have the staples removed on Wednesday afternoon, exactly 7 days post-op.

I was sleeved on May 24 and everything has been a dream except these darn stitches. Actually, the stitches are not the issue...it's the tape and glue. I've practically rubbed my stomach raw around all four holes...I can't stand it!

I know they used "glue" oon my incisions. They itch and I went home with a paper all about how you should not scratch at your dermabond sites.
