livinglife2010 3 Posted November 22, 2017 I was sleeved 10/23 and I am experiencing extremely dry skin. My skin is not normally this dry, and I am noticing dry Patches. Is anyone else having this issue, or can offer helpful tips? 1 Sosewsue61 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karen_marie 220 Posted November 22, 2017 I actually had the bypass, but I too have experienced super dry skin. It's probably one of the weird side effects from the change in diet and hormone levels. I just slather on lotion every day lol. Hoping someone further out from surgery may have some insight on if this balances back out again at some point.

walleyecrazy 120 Posted November 22, 2017 I have the same issue. I have never had to use lotion, but since getting the sleeve in early October I have had to start. My skin gets unbearably dry now if I don’t use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sinead 19 Posted November 22, 2017 I thought it was just me. I was sleeved on 10/31 and my skin has been so dry. I have dry Patches on my face right now. I’m 2 weeks and 1 day post op so I’m allowed soft food thank God! I got allergic reaction to the surgical plasters they used and came out in blisters and was really itchy!! I’ve noticed such a change in my skin as it’s so dry that I find body oil a lifesaver!! Try it and see how you get on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jene Jene 7 Posted November 23, 2017 I’m two weeks post-op and am dealing with the same issue. I think it is related in some part to a decrease in Water intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
