I've never been one to suffer breakouts before, but starting at 6 weeks post op all of a sudden my face keep breaking out. Did any of you have this problem? Did you treat it with an acne treatment ie proactive? or just normal cleansings and moisturizing? I'm 32 a little old for acne eeww ick ick ick!!!

I'm getting it too. Just doing the normal cleansings, but I suppose it matters how bad you have it and how much it bothers you. I don't have a lot, but it's more than usual, but not enough to bother me.

your hormones are doing their thing!! keep the same cleansing routine-I don't know if any acne treatment will help, but they can't hurt I hope. I am 48 and I still get monthly breakouts from hormones!! (dang-I thought it would be done by now!) If it is really bad, do ask your doctor-sometimes a round of antibiotics helps keep it under control. ~lynn

I never had acne as a teen and now here I am 34 with a pimple factory going on. I've also had a hysterectomy since WLS. But I am going this weekend to buy Proactiv. I'm so tired of all the zits!!

Thanks for your replies ladies. Glad to know that this is probably due to surgery and now some strange pre-midlife whack out thingy lol. If I start growing breasts on my forehead I'm going to be really pissed!

Not only have I gotten zits, but I have had some really ugly cysts show up! Mostly on my chin and forehead, but a couple of them were big enough to be breasts (ok, not quite, but close!). LOL! This will probably go away, but I do get a few now and then, just not as many or as bad as it was right around the one month out mark.

Yep boobs gone. I seem to be shrinking at the bottom and top but only a little in the middle. my ankle bones were the first to resurface which was cool, but then the boobs started going away and now they resemble udders rather than the perky ta ta's they once were lol oh well, thats why they invented the pushup bra right? cysts eh? yikes!!! I was only JOKING about boobs on the forehead! LOL
