Itchy skin and scalp



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else having this issue? I think especially my scalp. I guess every thing is just super dry. Not sure if it's from surgery or not, but it was not like this before surgery.

I also have that though I don't remember when it started. I use Selsun Blue Shampoo periodically and it really helps. Are you taking Biotin? That is supposed to be good for skin and hair.< /p>

I take it every once in a while. I already had it for the chemo med I have to take every week. At this point it is pretty difficult for me and all the pills I have to take.....

Not the scalp part, but just about everywhere else itches all the time.

Before surgery I never had anything like this.

And now, I've resorted to having to use lotion to keep my skin moist. I've hated lotion with a passion in the past, but unfortunately now it is part of my daily routine.

OH THE ITCHIES!!!!

This is new to me. I am using Cetaphil on my legs and arms. If I don't use the lotion the ITCHIES wake me up in the night. The lotion does seem to work. I am guessing that this too will go away with time.

My back hurts and it's due to weight loss but the itches holy cow. I ask hubby to rub me down every night and when traveling I desperately look for a back scratcher of some sort. It's worse on my back

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
