I had a bunch of this sort of thing pre-op. Post-op, while I had pounds of extra skin, no irritations or the like.
Pre-op it came down to yeast infections. Got a cream and that was that.
Post-op, if it's right at the paints waist line, you may be pulling the waist cinch a bit firm to compensate for the loose flesh.
If it's itchy or in some other way unfomfortable you might want to make mention of it with your PCP.
Good luck

How about treating myself while on Keto diet with diet pepsi or diet rootbeer. Have always drank it before with sleeve. I see mixed reviews, all say "legally" it passes because it has no sugar, 50% say they do it, 50% say they feel the sugar substitute will confuse system MAYBE taking you out of keto temporarily...

Any knowledge on this?

Perhaps as a precursor, clean out your diet completely. That may be enough to get the ball rolling and ease the transition into Keto.
Keto is strict but manageable if you really want to do it. Initially, many people feel withdrawl and flu like symptoms, so be prepared for that. Other than the excess/higher fat consumption and lower Protein intake, its strikingly similar to the diet directly after WLS.
You can do it! Cheering you on!

Hey guys I had my surgery in 2013 5 years out I've gained back about 20 lbs from my lowest weight (210 to 230). I know I have to eat better and thinking about starting this diet for the new year. Have you tried it? Did you like it? Did you not?
