I am 3 weeks post- op and incisions are healed. When is it ok to soak in a wonderful bath? My surgeon (in Mexico) never told me this. Thanks for any suggestions!

May 13 and have lost 30 lbs including 2week post op. am thrilled with my progress so far. Good luck to all the May sleevers!

I get winded just going from one room to the next too. Also having a really difficult time getting in my liquids. Was sleeved May 13 and am down 21 lbs. am really missing eating and drinking. Am hoping week 2 post op gets better. Am feeling very down. This is definitely NOT the easy way out!

Ended up in the Emergency dept at the hospital. Doctor said it is a severe allergic reaction to the tape they used. Anyway, got a prescription and some cream. Hopefully that will take care of it. Thanks for all your input.

I think I had an allergic reaction to the tape they used in the hospital. Below is a picture of what I am dealing with currently. Are there any nuses here who could recommend something? I have been taking Benadryl but it doesn't appear to be clearing up. Had surgery May 13 (last Monday) and this has been there since. Nurses did not comment on it at all and never saw Dr. Kelly again to show him. Sorry for the graphic photo.

It itches like crazy. Am going to have it looked at today. Will keep you informed.

Will be seeing my family doctor on Tuesday as this is a long holiday weekend here in Canada. I just might suck it up and go to the hospital although it doesn't seem like an emergency.

Dr. Kelly did my surgery on Monday past, May 13 at Florence Hospital. No problems with Dr. Kelly but found the nursing staff less than reliable. I am back home as of today with severe allergy all over my stomach. None of the nurses seemed concerned and Dr. Kelly never saw it. I am now getting ready to head to my own family doctor to find out what it is. I think I might have had an allergy to the tape they used to cover the incisions. Has anyone else had this problem?

Glad you are home safe and sound. Where in Canada are you? Leaving from Newfoundland on May 13. Keep in touch! Good luck on your journey!

I am getting sleeved on May 13. Feel like I am going to grieve for the foods I will no longer be able to have. Very nervous yet am so sick of living in an obese body. Am being sleeved by Dr. Kelly. Am unsure which hotel or hospital I will be staying at. Best of luck to everyone. Keep us updated on your progress.
