Anyone else have reaction to the band aids used after surgery? I obviously stopped using any adhesives & I’m not running a fever but it doesn’t seem to be getting better. IMG_5810.JPG

Oh no!! I'm so sorry. I already knew that I couldn't use the tape. I had a Previous surgery years ago and had that reaction. It was red and puffy even blistered. I told Dr prior abbot it and we used the glue. I'm post op 10 days. One is just starting to peel away.
I'd call your Dr maybe he can give you something! Hope it gets better soon

Couple of mine are blistery. I am kicking myself bcuz I had this reaction a few years ago too. I can’t remember what dr had me do tho...keep it dry & covered, neosporin & covered? Or did he prescribe something. Ugh. Wish I could remember. Guess I’ll be calling him tomorrow. The pic shows only left side...I have 4 incisions & my WHOLE stomach is like this[emoji22]

Yes mine looks like that. It’s getting blistered and itches like crazy. I peeled off a bunch of the glue surrounding the incisions but not on the actual incision and that’s helped a lot.

I did but not as bad as yours .. the worst one was on my tight cuz of the catheter ... I still have reddish area but the itching part is gone. I was bathing with aveeno, I don’t know if that helped me .. but I didn’t use nothing else.

I had that too. My surgical team knew I was allergic to latex but I still had problems like that. Talk to your surgical team. Show them the photos. They may consider hydrocortisone topically or Benadryl for the itch. Maybe something else. With time it will go away. You are not alone. Good luck!

Sleeved 9/6/16! The same thing happened to me. My doctor ended up giving me hydrocortisone with a steroid in it and it went away. Nothing else worked. Good luck

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
