Anyone get a Facial or Peel after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about having a Glow Peel done the day after Surgery. Has anyone considered that or done that?

I think I would wait a bit longer and see how you are feeling. I think the first day after surgery is a tough day and I just can't imagine wanting to have any procedure done.

I don't think you will be up to it. I would not have been. The next day is when you feel the gas. Just take it easy.

I'm scheduled for a peel, but several days after surgery. Agree that the next day is a bit aggressive.

Yea when I asked about the peel they said it could be the following day. I'm going to see if I can do B4 the surgery or 2 days after. I'll be there from Mon-Thurs

How are arranging to leave the hospital for the peel? Must be in the same place? They wouldn't let me leave, but I would have the next morning because I felt so wonderful. As soon as my leak test was done I was out and running around.. Shopping and a little Botox and sightseeing nonstop until we flew home. Everyone is different so make sure you can cancel without difficulties if you're not up to it

Peel is typically a chemical peel.

There's an associated plastics surgery center tied to my Dr's facility (run by same group too). So, I'm scheduled to have that done on one of the days where I'll be returned for the daily check-ups.

I've surgery on Monday and the peel on Wednesday. I wanted it on Thursday though. I don't leave until Saturday (band-sleeve conversion so they keep a bit longer).

It's in the same center. I'll be there for 2 days and the 3rd night I go to the hotel before flying home the 4th day.

I'm more nervous about having the peel bcuz I've never had one and u don't want any damage to my face but I've read that they do wonders for the complexion.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
