I did not experience dry skin after my surgery but I have recently experience dry skin after a bad sunburn and I purchased pure Shea butter from Amazon. I put it on once a day and I stay smooth until night.

and if you purchase it, get the one in the tub, not the bar. Tub is softer in texture. It takes a bit of pressure to put on and run into your skin but it is worth it

I am 7 months post op and my hands and feet have suffered from dry skin since having surgery. I have used Working Hands and Healthy Feet a couple times a day. I have also started using Gold Bond and it is now a little better but not like they should be. I drink plenty of Water and nobody can give me an explanation of why I am so dry. I have also had sinus issues for the past 4 months.

Here is a picture of my hand that I just took for this post.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
