Really bad dry skin



Recommended Posts

Trying to figure out if my being sleeved (4.5 months out) has anything to do with really bad dry skin- the backs of my hands are red and raw, finger tips are cracking, soles of feet are hard and cracking....I also now have normal to dry hair, my whole life it has always been oily.

UGH- I am also struggling with being COLD- wearing my winter coat, hat, gloves, wool socks- IN THE HOUSE!!

using Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair

Anyone else? Taking all my pills and supplements- eating and keeping hydrated, that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Hi Patteee,

I just noticed that you indicated you were sleeved, you might get a better response in the sleeve section as this area is for gastric plication. I am identified as sleeve, but I am researching all procedures so was checking this section out. ..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
