My skin feels weird to me. Almost like it is drying out. I know it is winter and skin does dry out during the winter but this has never happened to me prior to surgery. Anyone else have this happening to them?

While winter is a cause of dry skin, the prospect of surgery isn't. Apples and oranges, as the saying goes.

People have accused surgery of many things, including the common cold and hangnails. Surgery should not have to take the rap for everything.

Increase your Water and Protein intake. All so buff your skin in the shower--this helps my dryness.

Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

Thank you.

I agree with the upping the Water and Protein. I have dry skin and when I finish my shower ( pat dry but not really dry) I apply a very healing lotion or even baby oil and then pat off again. really helps just be sure your scars are healed and the dr or nurse approves.

This is also happening to me. I live in Louisiana so it's really difficult to get dry skin! I figured it might because I'm taking in less Water?
