Does The Sweating Stop?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had surgery yet, but it is all I think about!! I find myself always wondering what changes (besides weight) will happen post op. I find that I am ALWAYS hot and sweaty (especially in the face)...I am hoping with the weightloss, sweatloss will come hand in hand. Pleeeeeaaasssee someone say yes! Lol

I have always been sweaty, even when I was younger and much thinner. I have noticed I am much cooler a couple of months after surgery. I still sweat quite a bit when I work out, but not as much as before in "normal" situations.

Two weeks ago I was waiting for my leak test and i was freezing!! (i was fully dressed.). When the surgeon came in he chuckled. He pointed out that in June i was in the same room when I first met him. Now, 30 some pounds lighter, i didnt have as much 'insulation.' He was right!! And I rememeber sitting there with my husband that first day and worrying if i'd have to get undressed because I was all sweaty. (i didn't).

So yeah, i DO think the sweating is much better.

I love and Thank you for this Hope!! I am sure my husband will be just as thankful because if it were up to me our AC at home would never go above 68! We live in FLa. So imagine what our monthly electricity bill is!!

LOL!!! That's what my hubby keeps saying. We are in Texas and i told him that next year our bill should be lower. We have an a/c system where it is divided by sections and i DO keep my office & work room (i work w dogs with behavioral issues) at 68 degress! I can't STAND sweating around clients unless we are working outside. It's so embaressing.

My favorite part of the sleeve is the lack of sweating. I can now tolerate the south Florida heat. Never have the air in my car above low and my house stays at 75 degrees and I have to wear socks every night to sleep. I think it's more than just weightloss though. The part of your stomach that gets taken out has something to do with regulating body temperature. Either way.. definitely a plus side to surgery!

I am always cold now! I wear a jacket constantly - this is awesome for me as always being hot before! Best of luck to your body temperature!

I was the person that sweated all year long, my husband and I fought every day over the air conditioner in the car, in the house, in our Sunday school class, etc. my hair was always wet, no matter what the temp was outside, I live in Mississippi and you know we invented humidity! I am now 3 months post op and I'm down 73 lbs and I have been freezing from about one week after my surgery. I now sit around my house in sweat pants, fuzzy slippers, long sleeved shirt with a hoodie over it and a blanket on my legs! My family still can't believe it's really me doing that cause they have only seen me sweat and complain about the heat forever. I love it! I will take being cold any day over sweating like a dog!

I find that after I take my Vitamins in the AM, I start sweating profusely. My doctor says that I'm finally burning fat and that's why I'm sweating more. I'll take that as an excuse!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
