I was banded two days ago and have now developed a rash all over my stomach. Has this happened to anyone else?

I had the same thing. But mine was just around my cuts. I think its from the clear bandage they put over them. Mine lasted about 2 weeks.

It's not uncommon but call your doc tomorrow just to be sure...Monday is a long way away if it isn't just something "routine".

I had the same thing. It was from the glue from the bandages. My doc removed them & the staples after 7 days & I put cortisone cream on it & it cleared up in about 5 days.

The same exact thing happend to me. It hurt really bad and it was very itchy I took Benedryl for three days only because it put me to sleep and I didn't have to deal with the pain or itchy. I went to the Emergency Room and they gave me some cream that didn't really help either. Turns out there is something in the prep they use called Chlorhexidine that I am allergic to and now have to list it as an allergy. I work in a hospital with the stuff all the time and have to be very careful. I think you should call your Doctor and see what he thinks about it mine lasted for 10 days and was all over my belly not just near the cuts.

Exact same thing happened to me. NP gave me MethylPREDNISolone tablets 4mg for 6 days. After 2 days it was starting to get better, by day 6 the problem was totally gone.

WARNING: Steroids = Hunger. But, if your very early on hunger is less an issue as gas.

I was banded on the 29th and I started itching about 3 days ago. Mine actually started near my waistline. It's just a small area there, but I also have one small line of rash near where my port is. It's very itchy and kind of looks like small blisters.. I'm going to call my doc today..

I had a bad rash, but not on or near my incisions. My doc told me to take Benadryl and it helped. Still lasted about a week but is all better now!

Same thing happened to me. First I thought it was a reaction to the abx but it turns out I was allergic to the adhesive from the bandages. I took benadryl and that make a big difference. I also had a reaction to the Neosporin hat I was using, so I stopped that. I guess I’d say call your doctor to make sure but probably taking any kind of antihistamine would help (i.e. benadryl, Claritin, zyrtec ,ect)

      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.

      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.
