Red burning face after surgery on Thursday

I have emailed my Dr and am waiting for him to reply, but I thought I would ask here too. I had VSG on thursday and today my face is bright red and HOT HOT HOT. Am I having an allergic reaction to meds? Has anyone else had this?

It does sound like a reaction to me..

what types of meds..take some liquid Benadryl..

i suggest if the symptoms get any worse,  even just slightly

to get yourself to the emergency room.

Yes  just  had  surgery  Wednesday.  Was  fine  until  I  got home  Thursday night   and  my  face  and  chest, were   so  red  and  felt  sunburned my  arms  and  tummy  and  rest  of  me  had  some  also  but  not  like  my  face.  On  Friday,  I  called  doctor  said  drug  combination  reaction.  and told  me  to  take  benedryl.  I  did  it  went  away..   

I had moments of being SUPER flushed in the face and chest. I kept taking my temp! 

I am fair skinned an flush easily to begin with, I just figured it was my body working really hard to heal. I wasn't taking meds when this was happening. 

Its probably fine. Good luck!

I had surgery with Dr Alvarez as well in December.  He told me that the flushed face was from him oversewing the staple line. He said it was a totally normal experience and should be gone in a few days.

Awesome to hear. Thank you. I appreciate the comments about the Benadryl too, though I am going to wait to hear from him before I put one more drug in my body! I feel like I'm on overload as is!

are u running a fever???

Are you possibly allergic to your pain meds?

At any rate...call your doctor.
