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

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
