ChrisInc2 56 Posted July 9, 2016 It's like the main incision is driving me insane from itching it is tender but itch so bad, any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chycky 671 Posted July 9, 2016 I put a little cortisone around (not on!) incision and then neosporin in incision. Itching means healing but a person can only take so much! My middle and left, which nurse tells me get the most manipulation during surgery itched the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbella67 19 Posted July 10, 2016 I was told to use a heating pad on my stomach due to mine still hurting/sore for even clothes to touch them. And they itch something horrible. My Dr used glue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisInc2 56 Posted July 10, 2016 @@tbella67 yes I had glue too but I bought Neosporin pain itch and scar ointment and after my warm shower I put it in and it worked miracles. I hope you feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chycky 671 Posted July 10, 2016 Heating pad was an essential for me for comfort and sleep since surgery. No real pain now, just makes me feel better and less itchy! And helps with gas pain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
