Are you itchy all over, or just at your incisions? Do you have a rash? My incisions are itchy, and I think that is normal... Other than that.. Not sure.. If it gets worse, I'd maybe call your surgeon to see if it is something to be concerned about, or if there is something you can take for relief.

Are you taking any new medications? New soaps, lotions, foods? Sounds like it may be allergic reaction.

Some itching is normal. Mine itched a lot as well as it healed! Just be careful not to open any wounds, and wash your hands frequently to keep from getting an infection.

I get itchy with heat or in the sun. It has improved. I am almost 1 month post op. Mostly on arms and upper legs. If i thought about it the itching would increase. Now I try not to think about it and usually ok i walk from car to work or shops and rarely experience this anymore but this was bad at 1 to 2 weeks.

      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?
