I'm taking lortab/tylenol for pain. I've taking lortab and tylenol before so I don't think its the meds. And if so it would be all over.

I was banded on 9/11 and they just remove some of the steri-strips on Friday. The skin is totally red / raised and itchy so was wondering if it was allergic reaction to the glue on the tape. I can see the red under the other remaining tape. Has anyone experienced this?

I had a reaction to the tape after a few days. Took off the steri-strips and it went away!

Please call a Pharmacist today and see your doctor tomorrow...a rash is a sign of an allergy to medication. My sister nearly died from a reaction to Dilantin. It started with a rash and ended in chemicals burns from the inside out and ultimately renal failure. I had a rash from hydrocodone after another surgery. As soon as I told the pharmacist that I had a rash he told me to stop taking it immediately.

Did you use a heating pad after surgery? I got a heat rash that took awhile to go away.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
