Dry Skin after Gastric Bypass

[monken 135]

I use Vitamin e oil 5000 mg in the shower before I get out then air dry it has made a world of difference with the dry skin.

I also wash my hair every other day or go three days as it is not oily. I take 50000 mcg of Biotin and don't seem to have much fallout and I am 2.5 months out. Because we wont be absorbing most of what we eat the issues of dry skin , hair and nails will haunt us for a long while. The Hair loss eases up with time. YOu can take lots of Biotin because you pee out what you don't use.

If your hair thins or falls out it won't really peek until the 3rd month after surgery.

Your skin drying out and hair thinning is not from the RNY surgery its just plan and simply from "any" surgery you have.

Your body will go through a 3 month repair cycle. After a surgery it goes into shock and then immediately begins to repair its self. One of the things that happens during this repair is dry skin, thinning hair, potent pee smell and more. 3 months after your peek you should notice everything returning back to its normal state.

A family friend that knows my plight with dry skin bought me some pure shea butter and it is working a treat for me! I only apply once after showering and I'm good for the whole day!
