I have read some threads on this, but they have been pretty old so I started a new one rather than bring up an old one.
Anyway, before surgery I used to have EXTREMELY oily face skin. Un godly so...Now it's either dry or normal I can even wear non matte foundations, which I was never able to before. I had to use ULTRA mattifying stuff, and still my foundation would melt off by 4 hours really. Anyway, I forgot to ask my surgeon at my 1month...but could that be hormonal? I wouldn't chock it up to hydration because the rest of my skin got better after i got my liquids in. I'm not complaining, honestly b/c I have more options now. I just found it interesting. Could it be permanent or just a temporary perk?

I had my thyroid checked last monday and it was fine. I am taking the Bariatric Advantage vitamins! I am actually feeling WAYYYYYY better!!! My heart rate still elevates a bit but nothing like it did the first month out of surgery. I was just really worried I developed some chronic condition from the surgical trauma. Where my nervous system go messed up...You know that syndrome called pots? I was afraid I might have gotten that...surgeries can bring it on. As it stands now I am asymptomatic, other than a high pulse at times. But it hasn't been getting over 115. At rest it's totally normal. If it gets over 100 now it's low 100s. So I have faith it will eventually get back to my baseline or even better!!! I can exercise a little longer now too!!!!! Sheesh I was worried!!!

I had/have the exact opposite problem. I'm almost 2 months post op and my resting pulse is fine, but any exertion sends it over 100. It's really crappy, makes it feel like I've not lost a lb. I hope yours sorts itself out soon!
