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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
