Itching?

[Tyraboots]

I have extreme bodily itching, especially round my tummy. Has anyone else experienced this?

Are you taking Lansoprazol (sp?) (Fastabs). They can sometimes give that reaction. There are alternatives available. xx

I was very itchy the first wks after my op(3-8wks) it did go though and i havent had it since xxx

Itchiness can be a sign of healing, so maybe it's an indication things are healing up nicely inside. It can also be a sign of irritation or allergy though. If it becomes a problem or your skin becomes red and inflamed then see you GP, but otherwise just keep an eye on it.

Hi

I itched all over my body at first. I think it was my skin shrinking??? I only got it during my rapid weight loss stages. Plenty of moisturisers will help to losen the skin as it shrinks.
