I'm 3 weeks post surgery and am starting to have some crazy sking issues. My complexion has always been really good and easy to take care of. Now my skin has this weird bumpy feeling and looks raw. Anyone have any weird skin changes? Did they go away?

I posted about this before- my skin cleared after surgery and wanted to know if it was the same side effect for everyone

Alot of people reported that thiers got worse, some got better. Hopefully it is just a flare up and it will calm soon.

yeah, totally. I don't want it to get worse forever! Nice that you got a positive side effect :)

My skin was all over the place post-op.  I have naturally oily skin, and suddenly it was dry and peeling, then back to normal, then dry and peeling, then breaking out, then back to normal.  It's finally stabilized at normal and been holding there for several months.  Probably just the dump of hormones from rapid weight loss that sends it into all directions.

Thanks! It's good to know. I know they tell you all this hormonal stuff will happen post op, but then it happens and you're like WHAT is this!

OH, the skin issues!  My complection did clear up a lot, but I had skin sensation loss.  Very weird!  I actually went to the doc today to talk about it (I'm 8weeks out) and he is doing blood work, but thinks its from low potassium and protein intake.  I was instructed to try to eat more.  Apperantly I'm not eating enough, but I always feel full.  Hopefully my complection stays clear, but the sensation comes back!
