I have noticed that my face has begun to break out. I was wondering if being banded has an effect on my skin and if anyone else is having his problem. Thanks

I didn't notice any breakouts, but I was kind of strangely sweaty for about 3 days after surgery. Were you? Could that contribute? Did you have skin troubles when you were younger? I KNOW! Maybe you're diet changes are flushing all the toxins out, including out your pores. That could happen right? I hope it goes away! Keep us posted!

I have found, in the past, that a switch from pure unhealthy eating to fresh foods and lots of Water leads to about a week of icky whiteheads. I'm no doctor, but I think that the poster above is correct. If you are flushing toxins, they'll leave any way they can, including through your face.

Don't go crazy with scrubbing, just keep at it with a gentle cleanser, and you can CAREFULLY pop whiteheads if your face and hands are clean.

This too shall pass.

I started to get the breakouts which I never get, in the two week low calorie pre-op diet. I agree with Holly- I think it is our bodies getting rid of all the toxins due to no longer eating all the junk. So even though it isn't fun, just think of it as a sign you are getting healthier. Mine cleared up and hasn't come back. So it will pass soon enough.

That's so funny you mentioned it, I just noticed I have bumps on my chin area and I have good skin (sorry for the ego but I do).

Try Proactive

I'm 36 and swear by the stuff even though I never had any real acne issues as I got older I got these weird ones so I tried it. It worked.

I wonder if it has something to do with the Protein levels we're consuming. My face feels like suede! I try to exfoliate and it still feels rough! I've always had decent skin. This is just wierd.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
