Hey all! New here! But I was wondering if anyone has had super itchy incisions??? Like all I want to do is scratch them so badly!! I know itching is a sign of healing, but just wondering if anyone else experienced this? Also how long before these typically heal for y’all?? Thanks!! 🙂

OMG Yes this was my biggest issue Post OP I'm 16 days out and I think that they just stopped itching maybe 2-3 days ago. Using Dial Gold when showering helped alot

Mine were pretty itchy too. As long as there isn't any redness that is fanning out, discharge, or warmness to the touch... you are probably OK. It's annoying tho!

The itchy incision factor is pretty common. I would try my best not scratch at them but gave the hell up. At least as they heal up, it gets better.

Mrs Old as Dirt to the rescue. Take 2 washclothes, sew around 3 sides, take oatmeal, yes the kind in the tall round box with the smirking,old fashioned dude, fill up 3 quarters way. sew shut.
Now dip,into
.coolish Water. Pat places gently. Really that's all Domoboro soaks are at the pharmacy, colloidal oatmeal. They can be,pricy, you,have duplicated it, on the cheap. You're very welcome!😛

Itching is a sign of healing leave it alone! Don’t scratch or put anything on there it’s supposed to be dry and clean. As told by my surgeon

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
