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!!!

I'm having a little of this issue too. Not cool to break out at 39.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
