Do you mean while in hospital? Trust me. It's not an issue. You feel like shit. Who cares if you smell a bit.

[maggie.alvarez 29]

Really? I sweat excessively so idk if ima jus smell alittle lol. I have very low self esteem do to my sweating. Its so bad that i wont feel pain worring about my smell

I put deodorant on an hour after I got out of recovery. You can use baby wipes and deodorant as soon as you are in recovery.. Don't "sweat it" haha

And I actually felt great.. I really had minimal pain.. I guess I was a lucky one.

Lmao @dont sweat it... yes before n after surgery, atleast we can after.. i guess for some people smell isnt a issue, hahaha i may be jus about the only wiered one, out of everything im more worried about smell. I been so ready for this surgery n im scared n nervous but worried about my smell take of the scared n nervousness. I have never had surgery in my life.

I had similar thoughts going in. I used to be a constant faucet so the thought of showing up somewhere with no deo on was concerning to say the least.

Luckily my fears were for nothing. After taking my shower in the morning (using the ridiculously strong soap they gave me) I knew I'd be fresh for at least an hour or so. I kept the A/C on pretty high for the ride to the hospital and then once checked in it was a breeze. I was only in the waiting room for about 20 minutes after changing in the hospital gown. Then they took me to the Operating Room where they must have had the thermostat set to about 50.

When I woke up, the recovery room was pretty cool as well and then I was taken up to the room where I stayed for the night and was free to put on deo, though I think the combo of the cool room, the breezy hospital gown and lots of TV watching didn't push my body too much.

Also the excessive sweating gets better as your weight goes down. Mine is pretty much gone.

Completely agreed. I actually get cold at times now and for the first time in 20+ years I'm going to need to invest in a jacket for the winter. No more walking around comfortably in below zero temperatures in just my t-shirt.

[maggie.alvarez 29]

Really ??? Yesssss! I thought it wouldnt. Thanks for telling me
