Sweating buckets

[Nessa0121 14]

My surgery was this past Monday the 28th. Came home Weds afternoon. I keep going into moments of just sweating. My clothing is soaked. I'm paranoid and keep checking my temperature which is fine.

Is this normal?

Hi...I have not had my surgery yet (waiting for approval from insurance) - so I can't claim to be an expert on anything - but I sweat pretty profusely when my blood sugar drops. Like I said, I really know nothing, but it wouldn't be difficult to check your blood sugar and rule that out. Also, call your doctor....

I can't answer this with absolute certainty in your situation, but after I had my c-section of my twins I would wake up drenched every night to the point I had to change clothes.. I didn't think to much about it but when I went in for a check up I said something and come to find out it was an infection. I would call ur doc ASAP.

No infection, basically was told no reason could be found as to why I'm having any problems.

Not sure if this makes me feel better or worse

Nessa0121, just thinking perhaps it could be hormonal since the surgery? I know that I am pre-menopausal and will just break out into a full on sweat for no reason, and that is due to hormones. Hormones can be really out of whack prior to surgery, and I think WLS can put them back into sync with each other. It could be nothing more than that. Hope it gets better. I know I hate the sweats.

Late last night I got a call from the ER doctor that said it was bothering her so she did some more looking and sure enough my thyroid numbers are way off. Explains the sweating and moodiness.

I'll be giving my doctor a call Monday morning to discuss.

Did make me feel better knowing that there is a reason and I'm not just losing my mind

I was just going to say to get your thyroid check before I got to your last post. I had the same issues for many years and was ignored, so I am so glad the ER dr took the time to really look at this for you and see if she could figure something out!
