4 weeks post op LBL
OMG 4 weeks out and the itching is the worse. I keep telling myself that the itching means healing. I am also taking 1/2 benadryl before bed also. I see the ps on Tuesday hoping he will confirm it is just the healing so atleast i will feel better about it. Lol

I dread the itch! I ripped off 3 of my 6 laparoscopic dermabond coverings in my sleep after my hiatal hernia surgery from all the scratching. And during the day I scratched all around them all day just to get some relief from the crazy-making itching. And those probably totalled 3 inches of incisions! God help me when I have more like 5 feet of them...
The worst for me was that my glute muscles itched under numb freaking skin. it's hard to describe the feeling, but it was awful. It will still happen on occasion and you can't scratch it.
