I recently changed surgeries from the sleeve to RNY, because of insurance issues. I was made aware with the sleeve, there are huge hormone swings. Is it the same with RNY? Something about estrogen being released into the blood??? Any info would be great! What hormone changes should I expect?

i too have noticed acne in my face.. makes me feel like a teenager again. it'll be nice when that goes away. i haven't noticed any body odor..yet but I'm sure my hubby will tell me if i do. lol. the other change i noticed is the change of the coarseness of the hair on my bikini area when shaving.. weird

I had my pre-op today and quizzed both my Dr and his asst about the smell, acne, etc. He said he hadn't had that complaint, only hormone changes with diabetic patients, of which I don't have any sign of. I'm just going to follow everything to a "t" and hope for the best!

I smell!!!!! I'm not constipated. My armpits smell like ass! And under the belly fat roll smells! Nothing helps!!!!

Use cornstarch it helps with sweating... But first make sure the area is dry completely after washing.

Okay, there is a product, and don't laugh- called "Fresh Breasts". I had purchased "Fresh Balls" as a gag gift, and this came with it. So, I though what the hell. I tried it, and by God, it totally keeps me dry and fresh under my boobs. Just a thought...

Now that is hilarious!!

I also had to change deodorant after surgery.

After i had my ovaries out my Ph changed and for months all types of deodorants burned my pits. In the future when i have my bypass i hope i don't have to go through that again.
