Thank you both for your help! I really appreciate it! I'll let my brother know and hopefully one of your suggestions will work for him!

So, my younger brother has had really bad acne for a few years now. After trying every option available to him, his doctors came to the conclusion that the only option he had left was to start taking Accutane. This Friday he will have been taking it for two weeks. Since he started taking it, his skin has become extremely dry and flaky. He's tried a number of moisturizers and all of them cause his face to burn so badly that he has to wash them off. So, what I'm asking is if anyone has any suggestions of a moisturizer he could use that won't cause his skin to burn? I've read a little bit about jojoba oil, but I can't find enough information about it online to know if it's the right thing for him to use, and some of the information on one site contradicts information found on another site, as is customary with the internet. So, if anyone has any advice or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hey there! Glad to hear that you're doing so well! Congratulations on your weight loss so far! You're doing great! In order to get the ticker to show up every time you make a post, you have to go to your profile page, click on "Edit Profile", and on the left side there will be about 9 tabs to choose from. The 3rd one down will say "Change Signature." Click on that and then you can paste the information for your ticker in there and anything else you want it to say. Hope I was able to help! :]

Hey there! I see we both got banded today(or yesterday, technically). Thanks for adding me as your friend! When you're feeling up to it, let me know how you're doing! I've been having a pretty good amount of pain, mostly just from the gas and around my port I think. I have medication for it though, so it's manageable and getting up and walking really helps. I'm also having a little trouble sleeping, but that's nothing new for me! Lol. I fell asleep at around 7:30 PM and woke up around 11:30 PM. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a few more Z's. Like I said, let me know how you're doing when you feel up to it! I hope everything is going well for you! :]

Woo!! Good luck to you as well! I'm very happy for you! My thoughts will be with you on the day of our surgeries!

I'm scheduled for April 27th!

Thank you! I'm very excited! I see that you recently had your surgery; how did it go? How are you feeling?

My surgery is scheduled for April 27th, the day after my 19th birthday!

Thank you all for responding! I guess I'll be looking for retainers for my piercings!
