My hands are completely swollen, hands itch non stop, very painful to move fingers. Has anyone had this problem?

I would call your doctor. It sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind. You can probably just call your PCP.

Yeah, I wouldn't screw around. I would go to the ER or maybe an urgent care.

I had chronic hives and angioedema after having my Thyroid removed. Saw a few allergists and an immunologist. We never really figured why, and it has pretty much resolved itself, but I carry an epipen just in case.

I ended up having Cellulitis. It has left my hands and went to my feet. Both hands ended up swelling terrible. And now it's my feet. They gave me antibiotics so I hope they will work.

YIKES! I am sorry that you have this but I am happy that they figured out what it was and have a plan of attack to clear it up. Good luck to you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
