My face my poor face...

There was another lady on here very recently that broke out in a bad rash like that, and she thought it might be an allergy to the glue used in the surgery. She has photos of her rash; maybe you should take a look at this and see if yours looks similar.

Sounds like Hives... one of your pills or even a Protein can be causing it. I had to switch out a supplement due to being allergic. When I get hives it is very similar.

Just left urgent care and they gave me these and said if it's not better in 5 days to come back. Thank you all for you advise, suggestions and insight.

I’m not sure what you’re experiencing. But, my mother used to react to nylon stitches like that. My cousin reacts to metal staples like that, so I agree you need to see your regular doctor. I’m not sure what your doctor used to close your incisions, or what you’re reacting to? My coworker went hiking nearby and got poison ivy in the midst of winter? I’m hoping for a quick recovery for you, and good sleep!

How are you doing now? Did you ever find out for sure what it was?

Hi SleeveDiva2022 I'm hanging in there thank you for asking. I have an appointment tomorrow with my surgeon and I for urgent care depending on what my surgeon say. The itching, and redness have stopped since taking the medication. But now I have these spots still on my face and chest so hopefully they can give me something for this. xo

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
