Before surgery did anyone have a chronic or really bad sweating problem??? I can't seem to no sweat. Hot, cold, moving, not moving. It's horrible. I'm always hot too. Just wondering if this could go away after surgery? Cause I would LOVE to be cold all the time.

Oh yes you will be cold. I have only lost 63 lb and I am cold most of the time. I wear heavy robe to bed now where before I wore nothing. Sweating is a thing of the past for me.

Being cold was one of my first, OMG I'm losing weight moments. That and my wedding ring was the first thing to not fit. I'm very much looking forward tot his summer and not sweating as much.

Before surgery I as an original sweat hog. Now I'm freezing all the time. It gets old but it's better than always sweating. This has been the coldest winter of my life. I can't wait for summer. I'm hoping all the shivering I've been doing is going to translate into not sweating like a pig.

My thinner friends think I'm crazy saying I can't wait to be cold all the time. But they also know that I hate being hot and looking like it just ran a marathon and all I did was walk three steps. This is welcome news and yet another thing that makes me even more excited to have this surgery done.

Be careful what you wish for ! I think the only place I was comfy The first 6 months was the steam room at the gym!

Yep, I would break a sweat turning over at night, or just getting up out of bed. I rarely sweat now, and only after real exertion.

I was terribly cold the first few months, starting immediately after surgery. It has leveled out some now, over a year out. I still am cold when I first go to bed, and now I struggle all night with hot/cold hot/cold hot/cold. They say grhelin (however it's spelled) regulates body temperature, and we lose most of ours. Oh, well, small price to pay.

I used to sweat all the time too. In bed, getting ready, walking around my office, anywhere and now Im always asking my hubby to turn up the heat and I steal the blankets from him. At first we thought maybe I was sick but then the light bulb went off and we were like 'ohhhhhhhhhhhh, its cause of the weight loss'. Now Im chilly all the time (live in the Chicago area) and no more night sweats, no more sweating while getting ready in the morning, but I do sweat like a beast in hot yoga!

I am like you -- hot all the time and can't wait to be cold! I can start wearing some of the things I knit, hopefully!

Before my surgery I sweat a lot. In extremely humid weather I retained water! It was completely unpleasant. Now 10 months after surgery and I am an icebox all the time! I can never stay warm! I am hoping for a happy medium. I can't stand being so cold all of the time!

I though I was all alone with the hot/cold. hot/cold throughout the night! I have to sleep in summer pj's because of this. I'm cold durning the day.

Thank-you kyllgalcon for posting this and making me feel normal!

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
