So sorry! I remember what that is like. I itched like crazy for a while but I promise it will go away.

Itching = Healing!!! It is such an annoyance, but I just reminded myself I must be healing really well then. All around the sites I used a non scented very easy on the skin butter (lotion) which helped bring the Itching down a notch.

I had no problems with my incisions. They healed really well a days can hardly see them now. My problem is the gas that came with it. I hate it

I recall my incisions being itchy. I think it could have been the adhesive in the steri strips. The itching went away for me in 2 weeks. Unfortunately I'm still battling sharp pain 4 weeks out. An upper respiratory infection left me with a severe cough, hence the severe pain.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
