Any postops have this problem?

I guess this question is twofold. I just wanted to know if anyone else is having problems with severe eczema and also dry eyes post surgery? I never had the hair loss but, I have scabs all over my head (sorry to be so gross) and I also have severe dry eye syndrome (had to have tear duct implants). I had mild dry eyes before the surgery but, now it's epidemic actually. As you all know, I have had many other problems but this is just one new one that I have now. The second part of this question is just a comment actually to all preops. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure that you know as many of the post op problems that might arise before going into surgery. At least you will be prepared for them when and if they happen. If you are anemic beforehand, ask what the long term effects might be. If you had dry skin beforehand, ask about that too. Any minor problems that you might have now, MAY be exacerbated by surgery afterwards. I am NOT trying to scare anyone at all. I just care about you all and want everyone to have a better experience than I have had. Knowing all this might change your decision on which surgery to have. I never say don't have surgery, just to please go into it with very open eyes. I am one of the few people who write about my problems with this because I almost feel an obligation to do so because there are so many successful people writing about the good things. That's great and I am SOOOO happy for them but, there is a down side and people should know that too. I am one of the few who are worse off now than before surgery. Yes, I am thin, but, I am also constantly sick and finding more and more problems every day. If anyone has a nutritional answer to the eczema problem, I would love to hear about it. What is my diet lacking? I eat fats as much as I can tolerate. Possibly, Michelle has an answer. (As you can see, I really admire her answers and feel she is so well versed in all this). If anyone else has had problems after surgery, I would love to hear about it. I feel very alone in all this sometimes. Thanks.
