MandaPanda 173 Posted August 11, 2013 So I'm 13 days post op. I haven't had any of the thrush or bad breath that I have been reading about. However, today during my walk I got very itchy. I came home to take a shower and it was like the whole top layer of my skin came off, from everywhere. I had to use a loofa to get it all off. I felt like a snake shedding its skin. I do have generally dry skin but never have had this happen before. Anyone else have this happen?? So weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

espoe 4 Posted August 11, 2013 Just saw a post in another thread that the person was allergic to the surgical glue. For me the itching is all over so I have no idea if that's it or maybe I am low on Water intake. I see the doc on Wednesday and I will be sure to ask.

MandaPanda 173 Posted August 11, 2013 Yeah last night it was hard to sleep because of the itching. It's all over, not at my incisions. I have no redness or swelling. The peeling was the weirdest part, it's fine now just itchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snufflegus 80 Posted August 11, 2013 If it was just your stomach it could be the stuff they cleaned you with and your body just needed to get the skin off. I have noticed that I get spots like that all over at various times and I'm almost 3 mo out. Just make sure to use a good moisturizer every day (this can also help with skin elasticity) and that should help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
