Wear oven mitts!! Lol, jk.

I'm not sure what you should do... I tend to itch around the incision and that makes me feel a little better, but mine isn't all that bad. I just took the stitches out today, and still have them bandaged up. You could probably try that, if you tend to do it while you're sleeping, just put some gauze over them and some tape.

Mine are itchy, too. And yes I agree it is because they are healing. My have a clear type glue substance over them. I scratch around them but keep telling myself that my post op is just a few days away and maybe it will be better.

Itchy too .. I scratch around the incisions. So far I haven't scratched at night, that I know of.

I have glue on all but one incision. One is a little larger, maybe 2 inches with internal stitches and tape.

We're healing! It's a wonderful thing. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
