itchy rash-like annoyance...?



Recommended Posts

Next teusday i will be 2 weeks post op! I am looking forward to seeing my surgeon because i think im doing great! It has not been as hard as i thought it was gonna be. The one weird thing im experiencing is that im getting a little bit of a rash on my belly. Not on my incisions but on the "spare tire" portion of my belly. Has anybody else experienced this

I got a bad rash where the tape was holding the gauze on my incision then it spread plus my tummy shrinking with weight loss made it super itchy I just used hydrocortizone cream for a few days

They drape things around your incision, you could be suffering an allergic reaction to that. I have 6 incisions, 2 have healed perfectly, 4 look crappy and almost infected. I called the doctor and they brought me in and looked at it, they just told me to take an extra shower (so two showers/day)

Keep am eye on it.. You don't want an infection.

Also, she told me no creams on the incisions.

      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.
