Some answers to questions lately

[Guest guest]

Hi, I know others have asked lately about facial skin changes.

Since I am a most recently a Professional Beauty Consultant, I

thought I would give you some insight into what I have experienced

after gastric bypass surgery. I can tell you these dramatic facial

skin changes are very managable with the right product(s). My skin

changed from dry-combination skin to somewhat oily after surgery;

but only on my face and scalp. I adjusted the products I use and now

have my situation well under control. I'd be glad to help anyone

that needs some product ideas before going to a dermatologist.

Secondly, as a health professional for 30 years, I was familiar with

the gastric bypass patient's complaints about constipation. After

experiencing profound constipation on a personal level the first few

months after my Gastric Bypass, I asked my doctor to prescribe

Miralax. I found that " Miralax " worked well to get my body adjusted

to having more frequent BMs over a period of a few weeks.

Milk of Magnesia works well for those immediately post-op, and those

with occasional constipation. I continue to take " stool softener "

capsules everyday, and these do help, but if you are on narcotic

medications, as I am, you may need to resort to a laxitive. Another

product I have tried with success is ' Soft Chews [they are

chocolate flavor and I've never had a problem with dumping on this

product; but those that are sensitive to dumping may wish to take

that into consideration before trying this product.]

Just some suggestions. Lynda
