I've never had the best skin but it's definitely been worse since surgery. AND I found out yesterday the prescription acne wash I use was discontinued!!!

As the fat in your belly melts it releases a ton of estrogen = acne.

This explains why I am having so much acne. When does this stop?

So odd. I've had acne as long as I can remember and mine cleared up almost instantly after surgery.

I'll have to mention this to my dermatologist. I am already on prescription for acne & rosaeca (sp?), but my bariatric dr told me not to take it bc it makes me throw up without food. The Derm was weaning me off of them, but maybe I should stay on them!!

Mine is doing this too. They are tiny little bumps and are all over the sides of my face, my neck, chest, and tops of my arms. I am freaking out bc I do not want to deal with this long term. :wacko:

      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! 😞
