Hello all. I have a question. It's not so much about surgery as it is about the issues that come with being heavy.

Do or have any of you had issues with sweat under your stomach, and what did you do or are doing to remedy that issue?

Thanks!

gold bond powder! Also I take a shower once a day. I can't stand feeling dirty, even just imagined dirt.

Thanks so much. I wasn't sure what powder to use. But now I know.

@@thebynum79 I use regular baby powder sometimes too. The gold bond is sort of tingly because it's medicated to help raw skin, and the baby powder is just soft and is more to help prevent issues, from my experience. Any powder will work, it's sort of personal preference.

If you're thinking of getting plastics someday, make sure you talk to your dr about your issues. I did, they documented it for future insurance approval and prescribed me nystatin cream and powder to use.

Pre-Op strategy for me was to take a morning & evening shower and use Mitchum brand deodorant (best stuff in the universe......they have men's & women's formulas.....absolutely awesome product).

Post-Op strategy......lost the belly....almost. No kidding......it's going away bigtime in the 4 months since sleeve surgery. I can't begin to tell you how much better I feel about everything, too. Loosing that beer gut is such a relief.

I resorted to buying quick dry sports towels to put underneath. They are thin, absorb well and dry fast. I was hoping to be able to stop using them but now I can't stand the sensation of skin on skin so I still use them. They are just a little too long now

Use an anti-bacterial soap. I use Dial gold anti-Bacterial soap bar, for all my rolls and it works perfect. FYI I live in the Desert, Palmdale California, known for triple digit weather and dry heat.

Best wishes;)

Also, I used it after having a C-section, I was sent home with staples because of my overlapping belly. I never got a infection.

I use Secret antiperspirant. When I use it under my arms, I put a layer on under my belly. I found that the powders only work to a point for me, but the antiperspirant has worked much better.

Went and some baby powder today at the store, and it feels great! I'll see how it feels through the the week.

Thanks everyone!

I work in a hospital setting so I had access to this before surgery. It is fabulous. You can find it cheaper on amazon but it is definitely worth it.

Nystatin powder. Prescription works best I was getting fungus infections which forced me to get skin removed That turned out to be the best solution

Nystatin spray powder is awesome and easier to apply than some powders... I also like anti-monkey-butt. They have great advertising and a decent product.

I use deodorant seems to work great

I use men's deoderant and that works great for me

I already have a muffin top, so will this cream or the intersect help
