I also had this problem after surgery, about 3 days after, and I was so very, very miserable. I broke out in a rash first on my hands, then hives and a rash all over, especially on my legs and I itched so badly I had broken the skin. I tried everything, cortisone cream, anti-itch cream, Benadryl capsules, and I could not sleep for 2 weeks or eat because I was so miserable. Finally, my doctor prescribed Atarax and prednisone to calm all of this down and it worked. Finally, after 2 months this has become a bad memory. No blood tests showed anything, except that every time I took Percocet this would produce the itching again. I am just happy I am not itching anymore.
I think you are all just great to go through the lap band surgery and have such success. Being in the medical field, I do know how very hard this surgery is and what you have to overcome, so I think you are truly very brave. Keep up the good work, and take care.:rolleyes2:
