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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
