Gahhhh, the itching is driving me crazy too. I tend to just lightly tickle myself and it tends to help a little.
I had my surgery on the 21st of October and have already been back at work for a week. It hurt like crazy and I hate the stairs even more now, but I'm the kind of person that simply cannot stay home.
Already getting a bunch of compliments on how much "slimmer" I look but I'm waiting till Tuesday for my first 2 week weigh in to actually see it on the scales.
This is crazy - I had the exact same story and did my op in Amman with Dr Khrais on the 21st. Only down side is I didn't have anyone with me and felt kinda alone in this.
Hope you're feeling better now, and that you're starting to see the difference like I am!
*hugs*
