Default Well, Kinda...

As far as dry/flaky skin, what I have experienced is only in the 2 areas I received "blood thinning" shots while in the hospital. Those areas of course bruised, and the bruise still has not broken up. I use 2 moisturizers my dermatologist recommended (lipikar and I can't remember the name of the other right now). The moisturizers have helpped stop the itchiness, but the dry flakies are still happening.

Now, I am only 3 weeks out, and have only lost around 40 lbs total so far, so I do not yet have a bunch of loose skin... So if anyone have imput, I'm still all ears, cause when I get to that point, I would like to be prepared.
