Really glad to see a mens forum. There are so many more women than men on these forums! Anyway,,I am considering getting banded. Two years ago I went through the insurance requirments and backed out in the last month. Lost 80lbs on my own then gained it all back.

The worst part for me is sweating! When I gain the weight back I sweat like crazy. Man its embarrassing as hell. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes. Me! Before my surgery I was hot and sweating all the time regardless of the temp. I was too hot at home. In my bed. At work outside. Name it. I was sweating there. I could not find a deidorant that worked. It was awful.

This last few weeks I have actually been cold!!

Thank you for addressing this issue. I'm laying on my Hammock in my backyard and appreciating the various posts here on LBT. However, this is the first post I've seen so far (been on here for a week) that is discussing profuse sweating. For years I've been drenched and it doesn't matter where or what I'm doing. It's beyond embarrassing to me especially when out in public and (thank goodness I'm not in food service:). Granted I have multiple health issues that could contribute to this symptom, but it's even baffled most of my dozens of physicians too. This past year we experimented changing meds and getting off a few has made a difference. However, i still experience it even while doing something as simple as the dishes I'm hoping that once I get banded and recovered that I'll be able to do more

Okay, so I wasn't finished "chicken-pecking"on my phone here and my dogs just came up and bumped the hammock and my message simply sent itself?

Anyway, I'm curious to see if this thread develops as others (Pre-Op + Post-Op) Bandsters input is also greatly appreciated. I'm very hopeful for a less drenched future!

I have always been the one at work who is always hot and sweaty. I never wear long sleeves or jackets, even in the winter. I am the first to put the air conditioner on at work and as soon as I do all of the "skinny b*****s"start complaining about it while they are there in there skimpy next to nothing outfits.

Well, I will say that I have lost nearly thirty pounds and am feeling the difference already. We have had some really hot days here in Jersey already and I must say that it was nice to not be as hot and as sweaty as I would have before. Hopefully it keeps getting better.

I have lost over 70 pounds and I do feel a little less "insulated" than I used to. The true test will be when July and August hit. But to be honest I have always been hot natured and sweated even when I weighed 175 pounds.
