Itching

[Jordan.brown2 6]

I know your stomach itches because of the healing, but I'm itching everywhere! I haven't taking any pain med or any kind of pill in a little over a week, and I haven't switched to anything new. I was just wandering if anyone else has had this happen? It's so bad sometimes even the inside of my mouth itches! It's driving me crazy!!!

I am 3 weeks post op, down 30 pounds!

Maybe you should call your doctor. It sounds like a allergic reaction. Let me know how it's going. Hope it stops soon =)

I itched for the first two months! It was horrible I wanted to rip my skin off! My doc said it was normal so I took Benadryl, it helped a little. After the second month it went away.

I am 5 wks post op and still itch. I still have bandages. My incisions have been slow to heal so bw the healing and sensitivity to bandage tape, I itch a lot.

I had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia and it was uncontrolled itching. I also got a rash from head to toe (every one of my pores were red). My surgeon also thought it could be a reaction to the sulfer in the morphine they give you during and post op.it went away after a couple weeks but it was incredibly annoying! I had the same reaction after having my gallbladder out, so thats why they figures anesthesia. Unfortunately benadryl is all u can do

I hate that y'all are going through this, but am relieved to know I'm not the only one. I am allergic to sulfur drugs and told them that but I still got morphine, do you think it would take it 2-3 weeks to affect?

And yes I've been taking benydril but I hate taking it during the day.... I know I have to, but hate it lol

It does. I didnt start having the itching and stuff until maybe 3 weeks out. I went for my stiches checked and the rash was still getting worse. I think that was at 4 weeks. And with the gallbladder, which happened 4 months after, happened faster and much worse because I was already exposed to it. It was so annoying but nothing they could do to make it speed up
