If you were just sleeved, call the surgeon. If you have been sleeved for a while, call a dermatologist or your primary care physician.

Could be something in the pollen in the air also. I just went through that. I was staying at my step daughter's house some. Pollen was real bad out there and I broke out all over. Next thing if you have had anything to eat or drink that is red it could be the red 40 dye. I have noticed I am allergic to things I wasnt before surgery, so chance is you have became allergic to something since surgery.

About 2 week after I was sleeved I got an itchy rash all over my stomach & back... It was REALLY dry skin!!! I started using cetephil bar soap and lotion and it cleared up in about a week! Hope this helps and good luck!

You have probably become allergic to the antibiotic. Stop it, take some Benedryl and call your doctor in the AM

The antibiotics they give you post surgery can be very strong. A rash is not an uncommon reaction to certain antibiotics.. even if you've never had one before.. you need to contact your doctor.. could be nothing.. or could be a precursor to a more dangerous reaction.

      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.
