Has anyone else have/had experienced breaking out? I never had acne like this before the surgery so I'm curious if anyone else went through this or is going through this. I'm almost 2 months out to give you a time frame...

Thanks for anyone's input :)

Your body has gone through so many changes recently. It would make complete sense. I know my skin has been super dry. It's weird. I have been slathering cream for the last week. I'm just making sure to get as much Water as I can in and still working on getting these Vitamins in.

Me too! I was so happy to see this post, so I know it's not just me! I ordered 3 of my regular face creams and each one of them broke me out immediately. My friend who is in the skincare industry said something like my chemistry has changed due to the surgery. So I am in the process of trying to find a new skincare line. In the meantime my friends that were always mad at me when we were young because I never broke out can enjoy my adult onset of acne! lol

@@TXMissy yea im def keeping up my Vitamins i just think its crazy that with the amount of Water and no soda (thats when i use to get a pimple here or there) that my face has done this but then again major surgery i guess can do that with the amount of changes our bodies are going through. how far out are u?

@@SMBFLORIDA HAHAHA i totally feel the same way about the never breaking out when younger! I see we had surgery around the same time..how are you doing?

Estrogen is stored in fat, so as your body breaks it down large estrogen stores are released into the body. This is why theris often PMS type episodes, depression, sore nipples, acne, as well as nearly all the fun side effects of being preggo without the baby. :)

The good news is it doesn't last long and the best thing you can do is drink, drink, drink your water!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
