oily skin

[MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH 0]

OK, so I have noticed that since I got banded on Aug 18th, my skin has been really really oily. I don't have oily skin either. I have been washing my face like crazy cause of this and even been using daily oil control stuff from pro-active but it's not working. It's 3:15 in the morning and I just got up to use the bathroom, rubbed my forehead and it was like rubbing your hand across silk, it was that oily. Is anyone else going through this or is it just me and can anyone give me some advice about it?

I did not experience any of that, that I noticed. But it is still early on and you've only been banded a couple of days. For now, I'd chalk it up to the surgery and the trauma that your body has just been thru. It could also be from the change in your diet, although that has only been a couple of days too, except for whatever you did for a pre-op diet. I would think that it will go back to normal in a few days to weeks. I was swollen and bloated for about 2 weeks from the surgery and my body holding onto everything because it was in shock + the high sodium in all the broth that I was consuming!

I don't have any advice but I can tell you that I had the same problem right after surgery. It was back to normal in less than a week. I just kept wiping it with antiseptic (Sea Breeze) to keep from getting pimples.
