Breaking Out



Recommended Posts

Since I have been sleeved my skin has been breaking out with more pimples etc..It also just feels "yucky" in general (for lack of a better word to describe it). I know this is because of all the hormones wreaking havoc in my body right now (don't even ask about the effect this has had on my TOM). My question is, what have others done to minimize the breakouts and make their skin feel soft and smooth?

Omg! I feel like a teenager again. :( It's crazy! I've been trying all kinds of face wash, nothing is helping. I'm at a loss. =/

It's allergy season everywhere. Do you take an antihistamine? Try a Zyrtec and see what happens. That's the stuff that generally doesn't make you drowsy.

Since you three are women, I'm guessing it might be the hormonal load of the shifting fat cells. Try Tea Tree Oil- based products.

Tea tree oil and regular chemical peels.

Kinda painful but so effective.

Neutrogena face scrub pads are the only thing that helps me.

Me too, I'm almost 4 months out and my face is broke out with 4 spots when I usually get maybe 1 at the most per month. I've been using baking soda. It's also not as oily so I don't know why it would break out more.

I love Simple products and I like Dermalogica daily micro scrub.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
