Hi All -

I am 56 yr old male and approx. 9 months post-op VSG.

Recently, I have started to have profuse night sweat episodes. Happens for a few nights and then goes away. But will return.

Notice some posts on the Internet about this, and specific to WLS patients.

Noticed one of two threads here, but very old with no recent posts.

Some of the theories were:

1) Body will sweat to release fat and toxins

2) Body is confused by the rapid weight loss

3) Hormonal reaction by body (thinks its going thru menopause, even for men with WLS)

4) May be response to limited food intake, and specifically no Protein close to bedtime

So, I wanted to raise the topic again.

QUESTION: Has anyone had any episodes of night sweats, which seem to relate to no other cause beyond the body reaction to WLS?

I am on HRT and 5 months out. I have started to have the sweats throughout the day. That intermittent with freezing to death makes a fun day of dressing warm then stripping off. Following the topic !

Anesthesia and pain meds make me sweat.
