Hidradenitis suppurativa is where you have infected sweat glands in your groin or underarm area. I was wondering if someone with this condition has had the surgery and if so if their conditions improve due to the surgery.

Thanks!

Yes!

I've had persistant Hidradenitis Supporativa for years (about 20 now), which had been almost always active, including now.

Had Sleeve surgery 6 days ago. One infected area is completely dry and the 'bad' area under my armpit is oozing alot less puss. I have a feeling it will close up by itself soon.

To be honest I'm kind of shocked, did not expect this to almost cure up entirely in a week.

In case it goes away entirely I'd let you know. For now theres like 80% improvement!

Thanks for the response. Mine isn't bad and only flairs up every once in awhile. Hopefully it won't happen at all once the weight is lost. Glad to hear you'd is already getting better. Good luck!

Oh? Did you get the surgery already? Did your HS respond?

I had surgery on the 20th. Haven't had any issues from the HS but it hasn't been acting up for a few months.

I'm almost certain its related to certain types of food. After surgery it was almost gone since I haven't eaten anything but liquids for a week. When I started eating mushy stuff it started flaring up again. I kind of suspect it may have something to do with milk?

Yes, I too have HS and unfortunately mine actually flared up after surgery. I have a mild case but it progressed to moderate a few weeks post-op. My surgeon advised it is relatively normal for this to happen and it should settle down as my body gets back to normal.

I'm praying the weight loss will help clear it up, but who knows? Best of luck to you!

I have HS and I am having the sleeve at the end of the month.
