I had my sleeve on 04-25-17 and I'm experiencing the gross bloated gas feeling still. My sutures itch as well. Maybe this is a common issue?

I was sleeved 4/11 and I still have gas and bloating (mainly from constipation) I also have itching and red rash with bumps that itch like the dickens around my incisions. Three incisions have completely healed and one I scratched the scab so the newest layer hasn't fallen off yet.

Just had my staples out yesterday and was sleeved on18th. The itching is healing so don't worry there tho I know it's bloody annoying lol

Not sure if you guys in USA get it but Milk Of Magnesia is excellent to take for gas relief and help with Constipation.< br>
I'be added a photo of what my incision (one of 3) looks like 11 days after surgery and I use Savlon to help them heal.

hmmm. I don't have an incision that looks like that.... All I have is a straight line, no suture holes. My was sewn underneath and the skin was closed with steri-strips. It is interesting how different surgeons are

[gryffen 176]

Yeah I totally agree.

My wound is glued from inside out (apart from staples in stomach) and the surgical clips that were taken out just act as a skin closure to help the glue set.
The wee holes won't scar so that's good, just the inch long ones.

I'm 5 days post op and a few of my incisions itch. They are just healing. Its hard to not scratch them, but I don't want to scratch the glue off.
I don't really have any bloating or gas, probably bc I am passing gas more than I ever did before this surgery.

I was sleeved on the 13th. I don't have any bloating but I did have a reaction to the glue. I was itching and had redness where they glue was at. I say was cuz my dr told me to peel it off. I was a little worried about it but I guess I had stitches as well. Hope it gets better for you. Maybe you have a lot of gas. I used gas x strips and it helped. Good luck

Hmm, not itching but almost a stinging sensation if I touch them a little too aggressively. They aren't red or swollen, and look to be healing well though. As for gas and bloating? YES. I feel like you could pop my tummy like a balloon and I would float off like a Macy's parade balloon. I think I'm due to have the staples removed on Wednesday afternoon, exactly 7 days post-op.

I was sleeved on May 24 and everything has been a dream except these darn stitches. Actually, the stitches are not the issue...it's the tape and glue. I've practically rubbed my stomach raw around all four holes...I can't stand it!
