Hey everyone...i'm about to be banded soon (may 4th) and since summer is starting and i am starting to sweat....lots. I was wondering if any of you have had NSV's in this department. Sweating less?

I've only lost around fifty pounds and I sweat much less.

Probably a combination of being less self-conscious and wearing less clothing. Welcome to the band, Robgoblin :girl_hug:

Oh, absolutely I sweat less. In fact, you'll hear lots of people complaining about being cold once they start to lose weight.

That would be me!

I realized yesterday that I had a thermal blanket over me and it was 85 outside. We did have the AC but still. Up until two weeks ago I use to sweat all the time.

My dh used to tell people that I was a raging inferno, Never cold, Always hot, and NEVER dry. That has changed drastically after 40 lbs. I get cold very easily now. :girl_hug:

I was not much of a sweater before, so I can't say "yes" -- but I can say that I am definitely colder. I expected I would be, hell - I've lost a LOT of insulation!

Rob, it's pretty humid here in TX most of the time... and prior to surgery I couldn't walk out of the house without it feeling like 100 degrees. But now, I can withstand it better and don't get the damp/perspiration feeling.

So, it looks like it will be a side effect for the plus column in your case.

Another weird thing I noticed after I lost the first 40 lbs was it must've all been off my butt... not too much cushion back there any longer! No matter how I sit my tailbone gets sore.

I definitely don't sweat as much, but I'm not getting cold that much either. Guess I'm at a happy medium. Princess doesn't like to sweat! ;)))

I've never been a sweater anyway, unless I'm exercising. So I cant say I've noticed a difference. But I do feel the cold a lot more.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
