My surgery was exactly a month ago. Each time I eat, I begin sweating profusely and have to turn on a fan and sit down --I'm actually keeping a wet towel near me after I eat. Granted, I live in Florida with EXTREME heat and humidity, and I'm noticing that I get the sweats while walking, as well. Anyone else have this?

This is the only symptom I have: I've had an ideal outcome (no nausea, zero pain, no problems with bowel movements, very little fatigue)...

I experienced this on occasion. I found it decreased over time. Then I got cold lol.

I am one month post op, and I find this is happening to me too. I also get really nauseous with the sweating too. I've noticed it seems to happen if I eat too fast. So I have tried eating very slowly for the last couple of days and it seems to help.

I am 9 weeks post surgery and still go through this.I was joking with a co worker that had the band.I felt like was having hot flashes at first and joke that it was male mental pause.It is not as bad now I think it is from speeding up the metablism.I was having mild pain after I eat dinner and I think that is from eating fast.I would have a cigar after dinner and the tobacco would relieve this

Sounds to me like your blood sugar level is low and then spiking. My husband (mr. skinny) has hypoglycemia and those are two of his symptoms I watch for so I can know to administer glucose.

I agree with Nibbler. Pre-surgery, I would have that happen if I didn't eat. Post surgery, it only happens when I eat sugar, including fruit.

I would keep a diary of when it happens and what did you just eat.. Maybe too much sugar, not enough protein. I get cold after eating..

New development: I don't get the sweats anymore, but I have the heartburn so many people talk about. The wet towel will have to be replaced by antacids...
