HELP!!!!! Since I woke up from surgery I have been itching uncontrollably...it hasn't been my incisions so much as all around & my upper thigh...@ first I though it was a reaction to coming off all the meds but it seems to be getting worse & I'm breaking out in these red blotches... The only time it subsides is if I take Benadryl but I can't take this forever!! Has anyone else had this issue? I placed a call in & waiting for a response but I'm one step away from googling & then there is no telling how freaked out I will get!! Please if anyone has any experience with this or advice I would greatly appreciate it!!

Morning everyone. Still sore from surgery #2 yesterday. My surgeon said it was one of the worst cases of scar tissue he's ever soon and I should immediately be better. Hard to tell right now, waiting on a repeat upper GI before I can drink or eat anything. Just on ice chips right now. Thanks for your prayers!

Someone in my support group mixes chocolate Protein Powder with Peanut Butter and swears it tastes like a reeses...I'm not a chocolate fan so I haven't tried it. She only has it about once a week, I guess and it takes her days to eat it.

On Wednesday I'll be 4 weeks post op. I had foot surgery two weeks after my bypass and had been doing well with it and walking well. Everything was going good with my bypass until I got a stricture 2 1/2 weeks out and had it dialated friday. Then yesterday i went to the gym' date=' had a good workout. When I got home and got out the car I fell and damaged my foot bad enough to need 6-12 more weeks off from work. And I have to say I have never been as fatigued as I am now on crutches. I have been on them before with no problem and I was much heavier than I am now. I don't want to leave the house at all... it has to be from the surgeries. Tomorrow I get to go get my esophagus dialated again.... I think I need to start this week over![/quote']

EGADS! Good luck!

I was told the itching is from all the gas they fill you with leaving your body. I was so itchy all over for the first couple of days. Warm shower helped a lot.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
