3 Weeks Post Op An I Am Itching All Over

[shrinkinmama 14]

Hey all, I have recently over the last three days started itching all over and I cant figure out why. I am almost 4 weeks out from my sleeve and cant figure this out. Any one else experience this? ITs almost like the reaction from morphine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you changed your soap or detergent? Have you started eating something you never had before?

Sounds like an allergy of some kind!

Scabies can be a common problem in hospitals. My mother thought she was having an allergic reaction after spending time with her mother in the hospital. She had scabies.

When did they close. Sometimes when they are itchy it's because they are healing trust me mine were crazy couldn't even sleep so I bought cortisol gel it was veryyyy refreshing just put it around and my doc told me to use neosporin on the insicion

Did they use the clear glue to seal your incisions? They used it on mine and by the sencond week my abdomen itched so badly that I broke out into a rash! It didn't stop until the glue began to chip away after each shower. I guess it does not start to do this until your incisions are closed properly but it was maddening until it all flaked off at about 2 1/2 weeks.

I began to itch my second week and it lasted for over a week. My hands and my feet were sore from me scratching. It left my third week just as quick as it came, weird!

Fanny, I think that I am experiencing the same phenominon. It is not my incisions that are itching...I am just randomly itching all over my body, arms, legs back you name it. I feel like a freak

I get the same thing every once in a while..I get it from the prilosec I take in the morning

[shrinkinmama 14]

Maybe thats what is causing it... do you know the why behind it though?

[urbandecayno5 40]

No I looked it up and some people had that reaction..im guessing Its a sensitivity after surgery. I take some liquid benadryl when it gets super bad. Im almost 4 weeks out and I find its not happening as much though. Maybe its just gotta build up
