My skin has looked fantastic! Even my esthetician said that my skin looks better than she's ever seen it before. I attribute it to drinking more water every day and consuming less alcohol.

Mine is worse. It isn't bad by a long shot, but I got all the way to thirty without ever having a breakout.l got my sleeve and now I get pimples here and there... I just attribute it to the hormonal shift.

 I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

Wow, very interesting that for some skin is improving and others it gets worse. Guess it goes to show that this VSG experience is different for all of us..

No, I didnt have PCOS thankfully, I hear it is a really icky condition and I feel for those who are contending with that also.

Overall my skin's been MUCH better, which I attribute to the water, vitamins and other healthy stuff. Of course, this week I broke out a bit...boo. But it should clear up soon!

The first week after surgery, I had a few skin issues...couple of pimples and itchy skin..(probably from dryness). Once I started really drinking........things cleared up!

I have noticed my nails are really growing quicker! Must be all the vitamins and better food! Yay!
