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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
