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.

      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.
