So my incisions themselves are healing ok. But the areas around them are raised, SUPER itchy, and red. This didn't happen with my last surgery, so I'm not sure what to think. I tried triple antibiotic. I tried Benadryl cream and tablets. I tried hydrocortisone cream. Nothing is helping. Anyone else have this before? My doctor's office doesn't open for another hour, so I'm hoping to get some ideas what this could be until then.

Maybe an allergic reaction to the adhesive from the bandages? You can develop at any time.

Hope you got some answers and some relief.

This is what I'm dealing with. And it's sooooooo itchy!!! My doctor said it looks to be an allergic reaction to the surgical glue they used, which is weird because I didn't have this happen with my first surgery. You can see now vs 2 days after surgery. Everything seemed fine....until it wasn't....

I had the same thing happen and it was surgical glue allergy. I had to put cream around it, but not on sites. Hope you've gotten some relief!

It's finally getting better. I definitely got worse before it got better, but I'm on the other side of it now.

Glad you are on the other side of it. I'm almost 5 weeks out, and you can still see where the horrible redness and reaction was.

It still itches here and there, but the red bumpy area around the incisions is really annoying. I want it to just go away lol

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
