female only Acne!! Is it the band?

[Noturningback15 45]

Since my Lapband I am having problems with acne. I have never had acne before even as a teenager! Maybe an occasional bump or two, but now I look like a teenager and I am 31. Am I having a reaction to the band or something? I have noticed since I have went from 388 to 327 my periods come every month on there on and before the weight lost I had to be on Birth Control to even have one. So, I am not sure if the Acne is from the band or from having a regular period. Either way I am embarrassed and want it to go away!

i think its from the reg period.

i know when i get mine i usually get a pimple or 2, im guessing that because its new for you, that is the reason you are getting more than 1 or 2.

Thanks! I almost ordered some proactive yesterday, but I am going to get back on my birth control pills that's cheaper.

mine is just the opposite. i have had terrible acne for years, an been using proactiv for a while.since i lost weight my acne cleared up nicely.use to get my cycle everymonth on time. havent seen it in months.since surgery,an before surgery it use to skip maybe a month. but now i do not care to see it ever again. its alright with me.
