Bowel Surgery + Skin Health

Has anybody noticed that your skin ages much quicker after bowel surgery. I had pretty much all my colon removed and since then i noticed more spots and faster ageing skin. Anybody felt a difference after colon surgery?

One thing we like is that Spectrum is widely available across the US. Use that zip code internet finder above to see if you live in one of the 42 states it's available.

Spectrum only has three plans to choose from, and we wish their Gig plan was a little less expensive. In comparison to Xfinity internet, our top pick, Spectrum offers three fewer plans and the Gig internet is $15 more. Compared to Cox Internet, Spectrum has more expensive plans, especially after the second-year price hikes.

We do like how Spectrum doesn't require you to sign a contract, but the Spectrum Internet service could be a little better (this is why it didn't make our top five).https://spectrumspeed.org/

I know it. almost people around me have the same symtoms. however, there are some ways to take our skin better and you can ask the doctor. I know it is costly, but it is the safe way. Bloxorz
