Hey guys! I had surgery almost 2 Wks ago. For the last couple of days I have been breaking out all over face, neck, and chest. I have never had a skin issue. Maybe a pimple here or there but nothing like this. My face is burning! I think I am having some sort of reaction. The only med I have been taking is Zegrid and I have to do so every night for 3 mons....is/has this happened to anyone else?

The more "core" or belly fat you have, the worse this phenomenon will be (says my derm and my obgyn) because of the estrogen/hormones stored in belly fat.

You can get birth control that may help (as its likely cystic acne caused by hormones) and/or try chemical peels if it's more topical. Def talk to a derm because you don't want scars.

Thanks. My breakouts are def not cystic acne (I have had that before), but are teeny tiny red bumps all over the sides of my face, neck, and chest. I can tell it is acne, but different than any I've ever had before. Really hoping it resolves, but I'll definitely be going to a derm if it's still like this next week.

I thought it was just me! I'm 12 days out and I am breaking out on my chest and collarbone area. Never had this happen before. I'm guessing it's just my body reacting to the changes I'm putting it through. I'm putting acne stufff on it.

Yeah from description I would think its hormonal... I have just started getting some small white bumps on my upper arms and am just focussing on keeping the area clean until it clears up :)

And although it's expensive I would recommend a consult with a dermatologist too :) this is their specialty ;)

Hey guys! When I went to my derm she informed me it generated from a few things: trauma to my body b/c it was major surgery, meds given Durning surgery, and dairy from all the Protein Shakes. she prescribe me ziana and Kenya (something like that) I used it for a few days and it helped in the evening but it would flare up surit the day. I stopped using it. My skin returned to normal after about 3 Weeks. For me it got worst day by day until it went away. Luckily for me it was gone before.I went back to work 7/13. Don't worry guys IT will go away!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
