Hello All

Im new to the boards although I been lurking a while. Set to have surg on Sept 1st. I was just wonderin if any of you guys that have had success have noted a change to your body smell and hygeine issues? Im a big guy and I bathe regularly and I notice that I guess cause of the weight my groin and buttock region begins to sweat like 20-30 minutes after a shower! It's kind of frustrating to always feel sweaty and smelly even after I shower, powder and cologne. I feel kinda self concious about it and hope one of the benefits of the weight loss will be better smells coming off of the ol meat and two veg. Sorry if this is gross ladies.

it will change! I can vouch for that....

Try the man room for this type of question from now on. No guarantee that the ladies wont snoop to see whats going on in there just know that us guys will deffinatley look in there..

Mine was immediate and a total change. All of a sudden I hardly sweat at all and was COLD all the time. Pre-WLS when I got out of bed the morning it was soaked in sweat and had a sour smell, it was so embarrassing. On dark sheets I could actually see SALT stains around the edges.

Just this past weekend I did not shower either Saturday OR Sunday - I'm ashamed to say that I was just to lazy and my wife said that I did NOT stink.

So hopefully yours will change too.

Gotta love those no shower saturdays!

Rootman I also had the same problems pre surgery... Stinking sheets and blanket and sweat stains even in the winter time.... Now it seems to be lessening with every pound, so much so i can now shower at night with the wife and wake in the morning not haveing to shower again in the morning.. Nice!

I didn't even think of that as a benefit. I seem to be sweating when everyone else isn't. Just thought I was an athlete LOL.
