Since Being Sleevd, I have Acne



Recommended Posts

I'm 25 yrs old. Almost two weeks out from surgery. I had acne when I was a teen, but nothing horrible, just here and there. Then it subsided, no acne for years. Now that I've had surgery, I've realized my face breaking out angry.gif Again, it's not horrible, but I'm not a fan.

Has this happened to anyone else, could it be hormonal?

If this keeps up for the next couple months, I will be seeing my dermatologist (if OTC products do not work). Thanks

I don't know for sure, but it would make sense that it is from hormones. Fat stores estrogen, when we lose fat that estrogen is released. I have read other posts where people are very moody or have crazy periods, and it all seems to be related. I bet it will clear up as your body levels out.

Yes, I think it makes a lot of sense that it's hormonal. There are other issues that come with "hormones dumping into your system" side of weight loss, so it makes sense that this would also happen. Definitely a good idea to see a dermatologist! I hope they have a good solution for you!

I'm having the same issue! My skin is breaking out bad! I had my first period since surgery and it was the most painful it's ever been in my life. Midol nor pamprin worked. I think I am going to see a dermatologist as well. Let me know how that works out for you :)

I am having the SAME issue. I'm a month out from surgery- and by the time my period came around I literally had like 8 pimples on my face- and I usually don't break out at all. It's gotta be the hormones. I'm going to go on some form of birth control when I see my lady dr next week- so I'm hoping that helps. Have you considered that?

Hi, I had the same problem for around the first two months post-surgery. I had bad breakouts around TTOM.

One thing that helped me is taking zinc supplements. Zinc is good for the skin. I'm happy to say my skin is beautifully clear now so in my experience at least it wasn't something permanent.

Good luck.

I had some terrible breakouts right after surgery as well.. It took a few weeks but after everthing leveled out but now my skin is ALMOST flawless... Give it a few weeks.. I think it's just hormones and your body adjusting to change..

You're also eating totally different foods now than you were before. More healthy fats and Proteins and lots of Water, which will flush out the system. It will even out but it will take a bit of time.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
