Mine looked very much like yours and itched crazy. Try not to itch the area. If not any better or gets worse call the dr. Mine stopped after a while.

You could possibly be allergic to the tape/bandage. I was banded on the 21st and do not have a rash. I think I'd also contact my doctor.

Oooooo it kind of looks like mine did. it turned out I was allergic to the steri-strips they use to close the incisions. They are supposed to slowly dissolve off but with each shower I was dissolving the glue I was so allergic to all over the rest of my abdomen. My torso was a red rash mess by day 6.

Bennedryl and cortisone cream helped but it wasn't until my doc took off the steri strips did the rash stop. Call your doc in the morning.

Good luck

      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.
