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.

      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?
