I am 8 months out and for about the last 4 months or so I sweat heavily out of nowhere. I can be sitting for 5 minutes and stand up and my shorts will be wet and the chair looks as if I peed on it. Does anyone else have this problem?

How about put all your troubles into one post? Then we get a full picture ;)

You aren't eating or drinking, you aren't taking Vitamins, and you are totally blocked up. You poor thing! First thing is to research Vitamin Patches. That will help you a smidge. Talk to your doctor about a feeding tube or some other way to get nutrition. You are starving to death! It is a good idea to get the nurse out for the anti-nausea meds.. any thing to get you hydrated and feeling better. The sweating probably has something to do with all these other problems!

Just in case it's unrelated to your problems with the surgery, you might want to have your thyroid checked. An overactive thyroid makes you sweat like crazy.

I have had my thyroid checked when I was overweight and it came back showing levels that I should be under weight. I actually put in a request for my primary care to refer me to an endocrinologist.

Push harder on them to get in to see an endocrinologist! I was also hyperthyroid and should have been underweight, but in addition to revving your metabolism, it ups your appetite and I could eat out eat the increase in metabolism. An overactive thyroid is really dangerous for your heart. But it would absolutely explain the sweating. Other symptoms can be shaky hands, clammy skin, a very high resting heart rate, intolerance to heat (which you may not notice with the weight loss), if it's Graves Disease your eyes can start to be prominent and stick out a bit (I don't have Graves, I have a toxic nodule on my thyroid gland). Please get yourself checked!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
