Really glad to see a mens forum. There are so many more women than men on these forums! Anyway,,I am considering getting banded. Two years ago I went through the insurance requirments and backed out in the last month. Lost 80lbs on my own then gained it all back.

The worst part for me is sweating! When I gain the weight back I sweat like crazy. Man its embarrassing as hell. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes. Me! Before my surgery I was hot and sweating all the time regardless of the temp. I was too hot at home. In my bed. At work outside. Name it. I was sweating there. I could not find a deidorant that worked. It was awful.

This last few weeks I have actually been cold!!

Thank you for addressing this issue. I'm laying on my Hammock in my backyard and appreciating the various posts here on LBT. However, this is the first post I've seen so far (been on here for a week) that is discussing profuse sweating. For years I've been drenched and it doesn't matter where or what I'm doing. It's beyond embarrassing to me especially when out in public and (thank goodness I'm not in food service:). Granted I have multiple health issues that could contribute to this symptom, but it's even baffled most of my dozens of physicians too. This past year we experimented changing meds and getting off a few has made a difference. However, i still experience it even while doing something as simple as the dishes :( I'm hoping that once I get banded and recovered that I'll be able to do more

Okay, so I wasn't finished "chicken-pecking"on my phone here and my dogs just came up and bumped the hammock and my message simply sent itself? :)

Anyway, I'm curious to see if this thread develops as others (Pre-Op + Post-Op) Bandsters input is also greatly appreciated. I'm very hopeful for a less drenched future! :)

I have always been the one at work who is always hot and sweaty. I never wear long sleeves or jackets, even in the winter. I am the first to put the air conditioner on at work and as soon as I do all of the "skinny b*****s"start complaining about it while they are there in there skimpy next to nothing outfits.

Well, I will say that I have lost nearly thirty pounds and am feeling the difference already. We have had some really hot days here in Jersey already and I must say that it was nice to not be as hot and as sweaty as I would have before. Hopefully it keeps getting better.

I have lost over 70 pounds and I do feel a little less "insulated" than I used to. The true test will be when July and August hit. But to be honest I have always been hot natured and sweated even when I weighed 175 pounds.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
