I know the body is healing but my holes and area where the port is located is starting to get itchy for me...was wondering if anyone else had that going on???

My insicion sites are itchy...and i am one of those that can't leave a bug bite alone so it has been a challenge...were you stitched or glued"?

I was glued....and they are ugly lookin, i hope most of that is the glue:ohmy:

i was banded on aug 11 08:thumbup:

It will stop soon.........my mom said it is a sign of the incisions healing. I would scratch around the incision and that would help! Good Luck

I had the surgery on Monday and it is only Wednesday and I am soooooo itchy... I am also one that cant leave bug bites alone so I am doing my best....

I am six day post op and mine started itching yesterday and as was said this is a sign of healing. YEE HAA! We are on our way.

Hey!

I was banded 8/4/08. Last week was the worse and when I had my one week checkup... I told the nurse that the itching was driving me crazy. He suggested benadryl and some hydrocortisone cream. Aaaaahhhh!:thumbup: Relief! Slept like a baby.

I was banded two days ago and I am itchy too. What helps me is the same thing I did when I was pregnant and itched....gently rub the sites with a shirt on as a barrier. It seems to work for me.

Mine are glued I think. I am waiting for these strips to fall off...a couple have which is nice. I think I know right where the port is healing because it is itchy and a little tingly to the touch when I feel around that area.

I think like will be great as soon as all the strips fall off. :thumbup:

Itching is healing, just don't scratch! I found that rubbing gently around the site seemed to relieve most of the itchiness.
