My largest incision has teeny tiny Water blisters all around in about 2" out. Ive been wearing a spandex like tank inder my shirt- could that be causing them or is it just healing or should I worry? When I run my nails over them they just pop and slightly itch. Anyone else have this? 12 days out today.

Stop popping those blisters sister !!!! and take off that spandex, you may have an allergy to something, call your Dr's exchange and report what's happening, but for sure call his office first thing Monday morning. If they itch try putting a cold compress or ice bag on the site 10 min on 10 min off. this will help with the itch.

10 days out and no blisters here. My steri strips were taken off by the doc on day 8. I just wash my incisions in the shower, pat dry and put on my shirt. Nothing tight, so it still gets air. I agree, stop popping the blisters. And let your incisions breathe.

sounds like an allergy. Did you have surgical tape or bandaids at the areas where it is blistering? You may have an allergic reaction to these,

ok ok...will stop popping the blisters. <_< I don't have any bandages where they are now. I did have them near the other incisions and removed all the tape. I don't see any near them now just around the larger incision that looks like a + sign. The spandex shirt keeps the pain in check due to the weight pulling on my incision area inside. Think it would be ok to put something over it and then wear the undershirts? I will call the nurse or leader of the support group Monday and ask. Thanks for the information.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
