Extremely dry skin after MGB



Recommended Posts

Did anyone notice their skin going extremely dry after MGB? I know this isn't related to Water intake because I have gone through times when my water intake was much worse than what it is now.. I did develop a kidney stone but never got skin that is as dry as it is now.

Is this related to MGB and absorption?

Skin changes after surgery isn't unusual. Are you on a good bariatric Vitamin? Sometimes just being on the right Vitamins will make a huge difference.

After RNY surgery, my skin on my face became extremely dry and very fine wrinkles formed. They were the type of wrinkles that you see on someone who is over 100 years old. Now I am 67 years old so I expect wrinkles, but this was really accelerating the process. Anyways my wife suggested that I use Bio-Oil which can be found at CVS or Walmart and other stores. I put it on my face each morning and that took care of the problem.

I had the sleeve - but I do have dry skin since then.

my favorite is to use melted coconut oil on my skin after I dry off post shower/bath.

really keeps my skin nice for a long time.

Just called my doctor this morning.. He advised me to take extra Zinc 20 mg for one month and see if things improve or not

I feel like my face is flaking off! My forehead has big red bumps on it from just being so dry. I have tried Vitamin E oil, lotion, face creams.... I would love any suggestions I could get at this point. I am also struggling to get fluids down and trying REALLY hard to get them all in because I know that will help.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
