Extra Oily Skin Post-Op



Recommended Posts

I've been experiencing SUPER oily skin on my face for the past 6-8 weeks... I thought it was just the initial after surgery shock or something... but it's not going away... I usuallly have normal to dry skin... but now, even oil control make up/powder isn't helping...

Any changes to your skin since early pre-op?? Any suggestions about the oiliness?? All of my pictures look like I'm bathed in baby oil.. HELP!!!

Oh this sucks!!

I have majorly oily skin already, I live in a humid area and work in a kitchen so by the end of the day I look like a melted pot of oil :unsure: I hope this doesn't get too bad!

I also have noticed that I got oily skin after the surgery. Does anyone know why? Its driving me crazy to wash my face a couple times a day.

I'm having the opposite issue. My skin is so dry it's literally flaking off in some areas! I'm getting in all my fluids, so I don't get it! I've never had dry skin in my life & its super sensitive so every moisturizer I've tried has given me acne. I'm 36, acne....really?!??

Kayte, have you tried Aveeno products? They are pretty pricey, but have never made my ultra acne prone sensitive break out!

I haven't tried them but I've been interested in trying the positively radiant. What kind do you recommend? Thanks for the suggestion!!

Platinumlabz has a terrific product for oily skin. You have to go to their website. I think my last bottle costed around 18 bucks. But does it work. Hell yes. It comes in a neon blue bottle with a black cap. Its not a commercial product and is catered toward bodybuilders that have acne issues

Btw everyone, I used to have suuuuper oily skin which would result in that painful underground acne sometimes. I bought Proactive & my skin got completely normal with no more acne. I've just started using it again since the moisturizers I've tried have made my skin go nuts. It really has been a life changer for me!!

Kayte, I have tried the positively radiant, but I am too oily for it. It might work well for you. I am currently using their Active Naturals moisturizer and I like it a lot.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
