I had my surgery on July 29, 2008, for the past 2 weeks I have been itchy everywhere. It is unbearable, doctor said it shouldn't have anything to do with my realized band however, I don't know what else it could be. Anyone have this happen to them?

Hi Tricia:

Is it possible that with no fat in your diet your skin is just getting to be extremely dry? I know that my skin got drier when I cut out most of my fat intake.

Hope you feel better soon.

Probably a silly question but, are you still taking pain meds? They make me itch like crazy.

Go to a dermatologist and get checked out.

My guess would be your water intake is not high enough or your fat intake is too low.

The only itching issue i ever had was from the strips they place over the cuts to help u heal. If ur itching there then use a cold pack... it helps.

Thank you for all your responses. The itching has finally subsided a bit.

Could it be an allergy to the protein drinks? You could be allergic to whey or soy. Good luck.

sooo many things it could be caused by, allergies to meds, over the counter products, diet. Its time to take a close look at what you are doing differently the last 2 weeks and see where the change has taken place. seeing a dermatoligist or at least a doctor would be wise also.
