dreamynow 136 Posted September 17, 2017 I'm 4 weeks tomorrow post op. I finally took off all the white strip bandages and now I'm so itchy around the healing wounds. Any suggestions? Sleeve date. 8-21Hw. 289SW. 284CW. 259Height. 5'8Gw. 170 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyssa_vsg 19 Posted September 18, 2017 I'm close to 2 weeks post op and all the glue finally peeled off, one particular incision mark was really itchy and red around it so i put hydrocortisone cream around the incision and that took away the itchiness completely.

Bhageerah 161 Posted September 18, 2017 Itching is a good thing, that lets you know that the wounds are healing rather nicely! When mine started itching I rubbed them but did not use my nails to scratch them, you do not want to open up the incisions or where the trocar went in. I know it is hard to ignore but try to leave them alone as much as possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristen117 20 Posted September 18, 2017 Yes, itching is a good thing! I am 2 weeks post op and mine itch like crazy sauce. I sometimes just tap them since I dont want to itch them. Seems to help me!

dreamynow 136 Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks everyone. No more itchy tummy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bhageerah 161 Posted September 19, 2017 Congratulations! I know that mine did not last long but it was still a pain in the posterior! But it was something that I would gladly go through again if me meant that I would get the same results that I have had! About the only thing that I absolutely hated and have no desire to ever do again is the Clear Liquids for two weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
