Try getting in more fluids. I went through the same thing. I upped my Fluid and my skin started to improve.

Definitely fluids, I'm at the same point as you, had surgery 11-21 and no lotion works on mine either. But I got more Water in and saw improvements a few days later. Sorry you're having this issue. Best wishes.

I have noticed not the dry skin. But rather the cracked heels of my feet. I researched causes for this online and it stated being dehydrated. I think I am just not hydrated enough and have made a vow to work harder on getting more fluids in to help avoid this.

I use Dermol emollient but fluids are useful too.

Remedy skin repair cream with olivamine, I have very sensitive skin and lymphedema in my legs so I have to use moisturizer all of the time. This is one my physical therapist used for my massage treatments and I haven't used another since. You can buy on Amazon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
