I was banded on 12/17/09. For the past two weeks I've been experiencing extreme sweating under my belly fold (even though it's getting smaller) and in the crease of my groin. Anyone experiencing this. It's SO annoying. I never experienced this even in the summer and now is the dead of winter!!

I've not noticed a difference. If anything, I find that I'm colder now as I'm losing the weight. I still get some hot flashes, but overall, I'm finding myself needing a jacket or blanket whereas before I'd be in tank tops. Plus, I'm now using my heating pad to warm up my bed before I go to sleep, where I used to just grin and bare it.

I'm sure you have a treatment you use to fix any redness you get, but if not, I use the creamy Desitin (like you'd use on a baby's bottom). If I get red there (or even under my breasts) I put some of the Desitin there for a day or two, and it goes away. It works pretty well for me.

Good luck, I hope you can find some answers!

Thanks Mel
