I have noticed that my face has begun to break out. I was wondering if being banded has an effect on my skin and if anyone else is having his problem. Thanks

I didn't notice any breakouts, but I was kind of strangely sweaty for about 3 days after surgery. Were you? Could that contribute? Did you have skin troubles when you were younger? I KNOW! Maybe you're diet changes are flushing all the toxins out, including out your pores. That could happen right? I hope it goes away! Keep us posted!

I have found, in the past, that a switch from pure unhealthy eating to fresh foods and lots of Water leads to about a week of icky whiteheads. I'm no doctor, but I think that the poster above is correct. If you are flushing toxins, they'll leave any way they can, including through your face.

Don't go crazy with scrubbing, just keep at it with a gentle cleanser, and you can CAREFULLY pop whiteheads if your face and hands are clean.

This too shall pass.

I started to get the breakouts which I never get, in the two week low calorie pre-op diet. I agree with Holly- I think it is our bodies getting rid of all the toxins due to no longer eating all the junk. So even though it isn't fun, just think of it as a sign you are getting healthier. Mine cleared up and hasn't come back. So it will pass soon enough.

That's so funny you mentioned it, I just noticed I have bumps on my chin area and I have good skin (sorry for the ego but I do).

Try Proactive

I'm 36 and swear by the stuff even though I never had any real acne issues as I got older I got these weird ones so I tried it. It worked.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
