I was banded July 12! Most of my bandages have come off. my incisions are very itchy and red around the outside because I keep scratching. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

itching means (healing). not to worry

if you feel slight pain (or tender) that could mean the scar tissue

is forming around the port site. i am sure you are fine. but any concerns, call your doctor and ask them and let it ease your mind. all the best.

In my case I had a severe allergic reaction to the surgical glue. I was itching so bad and it felt like I was itching in my stomach. It was awful. I too thought it was just healing but instead it was a day at the hospital. Keep an eye on how red they get! I develope hives, blisters, and burning out of nowhere.

      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.
