Omgosh, I've had very rough dry skin since surgery plus easy bruising and slooooow wound healing. I was thinking of posting something very similar to this last month, but I brought it up at my post-op appointment instead. My surgeon suggested extra vitamin C, since it helps with collagen production. He said new post-ops don't eat much fresh fruit, when they need more vitamin C the most. I've added a chewable C and the dryness has improved a good bit, but I'm thinking I need a little more, since I still bruise for no apparent reason. Argh.

Hello Everyone,
I had VSG on 10/18/16. I've been having a difficult time with getting all my fluids in. I am dealing with dry skin daily. Does anyone know if dry skin will have a huge impact on my skin elasticity? I know that I'll have some sagging skin. I'm just hoping that the dry skin issue turns out to be just temporary.
I don't know about VSG but I know posters that had the RNY that were able to loose pounds and get close to where they were.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
