I'm just starting my 6 month preop program and I've been wondering something.......

After surgery when you're on the restricted diet, and then long term with eating healthier, has anyone noticed a significant change in skin quality? I am currently waging a war with blackheads going on about 20 years now (I'm 29). When I have dieted in the past, I've noticed my skin is much healthier looking. Vibrant actually. Can I expect the same results after the surgery?

Could only tell ya up to four days out but so far so good! I think the increased hydration really helps.

I had the same problem befor surgry and now I am 2 months out my face is clearer than it has ever been!!!!! Love it

Total opposite for me. I never, ever had any acne as a youth or adult...EVER!!! I was sleeved on April 8. I woke up the morning of May 25 with about 6 little whitehead pimples on my forehead. Now everyday since then I wake up with 2-3 fresh pimples EVERY MORNING! Now I have pimples and acne scars all over my face. I'm pretty certain, it is surgery related which is weird because I don't eat the same garbage I used to.

My skin looked great after surgery. I never had a huge problem before but if surgery and the hydration factor really helped out.

2 weeks out and have had no breakouts whatsoever. Still on full liquids, so not sure if this will change as my diet changes.

I never had any huge acne problems until after surgery. The doctor said it was not related to the surgery. Maybe not from the surgery itself but the change in diet and exercise, hormones, stress, etc., I had the worse acne i'd ever had about a month after surgery. My advice is, After working out and sweating, wash your face with antibacterial soap or a cleanser that has benzoid peroxide in it. Also, if you are taking biotin, lower your dose. I was taking 5000iu a day. I've halved that to 2,500iu. My face is much better. I always make sure to take the time to wash my face after a workout or if my skin just feels oily. I'm 15 weeks out Monday.

I used to have acne issues but they cleared up befote I had surgery.

I'm one week out postop and im breaking out like crazy with fresh pimples every day.
