OMG!  It is so crazy that you mentioned this.  I made an appointment with the dermatologist today because I have had "super acne" on my back.  Although I thought it was strange, I never related it to my surgery...duh.  I'm so glad you mentioned this because I'm sure I would not have even mentioned the surgery at my appointment.

Ugh, me.  I started breaking out at 5 months post op and haven't stopped.  Saw a derm and got a cream and a pill.  I hate this!!!!!!!

 Is the acne due to the weight loss? The protein? reduced water intake? I use to drink more than 128 oz per day pre-surg but now lucky if I can get 48-64 yikes!!

I don't know.  I wish I did because then I could do something about it!   LOL

My derm didn't seem to think the surgery or weight loss were related to the acne.  He thinks it just happens sometimes.

Maybe it's hormones?

 most likely a hormone issue...  your body is getting flooded with estrogen that's been stored in your fat cells....  you're gonna be on a hormone rollercoaster for a while...  break out the clearasil....

Chin breakouts are more hormonal then all over face and back.
I have been having some , but it is after a day when I have had more cheese.
I am still able to drink 80-100oz. of water so I don't think it is that.
I think it is more the protien factor..

Yea we see both ends of the spectrum, some people get really bad acne after, some people's skin clears up.

But what youre going through is very normal, although im sure also frustrating.


Just highlights how different this journey is for everyone!!

I am 2 month out and just started with the massive breakouts last week. It is really annoying! I have always used Proactiv, but it is not keeping up right now. Hopefully we get past our re-puberty soon! LOL

 Is happening to me as well and I am almost 2 months post op. So I guess is normal.
