My skin is so dry and scaley... No matter how much lotion, Vitamin e or olive oil my skin still drys up fairly fast and peels.. I hadnt had this problem prior to being sleeved in June. Is anyone else experience this? Looking for suggests on what can help...

All I can suggest is to stay hydrated and keep using body oil, etc.also, put your body oil on over damp skin.

One tip I learned from one of my doctors is to make sure your lotions and moisturizers do not come in a pump bottle. Apparently, the additives (alcohol?) they use to make lotion pumpable is in itself drying.

Thx! Will try apply over damp skin and see how that goes.

And, oddly enough I never buy moisturizers with pumps... I always thought that was weird of me, but good thing huh?!

Try either virgin coconut oil or Bio oil... both brilliant.

I'm using coconut oil at least once a week, firming lotion at least twice a week, and Vitamin e oil once a week. Other days I use lotion (Lubriderm, in a pump bottle -- yikes! ) Also, I exfoliate a lot. Mostly because I'm trying to prevent sagging, but so far my skin hasn't been too dry. Also, I've been told to avoid too hot Water in showers and baths.

I have very dry skin too and breaking out bad I am almost a month post-op it sucks plus I have eczema and I havent had a breakout in years so I guess is the hormonal change!!!
