JackieOMonroe 123 Posted August 13, 2011 It seems that since I've been sleeved, any time I'm standing for a short period of time I become extremely overheated and begin to sweat profusely. I've always been quick to sweat, but this is ridiculous. It happens regardless of the actual temperature and it happens even though I'm not exerting myself. Just now it happened while I changed the ink in my printer. I had to go get a paper towel to mop my face and I sat down to cool down. I had an audition for a jazz band last week, and while I was standing there singing I began to drip with sweat. It was humiliating. I passed it off as nerves, and I got hired as the lead singer. Now I'm worried that I'll have to quit because of this sweating issue. Does it ever stop? Does anyone know what could be causing it? Am I the only one? I'm so frustrated. It only happens when I'm standing. Not when I'm sitting or even when I'm walking it seems. I'm 31 years old. I haven't ever menstruated due to defective ovaries, so it isn't early onset menopause.

Khy 16 Posted August 13, 2011 That happened to me although you have been sleeved longer than me. For about the first 2 weeks I had hot flashes that left me soaked. I still get them once in awhile but not like the first 2 weeks. Seems less frequent as time goes by. Khy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nancy Rivers 24 Posted August 13, 2011 What you describe was my life before the sleeve. That's part of the reason I ended up so sedentary. However, since the sleeve, I can stand longer or walk longer before the sweat starts. As I continue to exercise (walking) it's getting better and better.

JackieOMonroe 123 Posted August 13, 2011 After a little Google-fu, I think it may have something to do with my hormones. I'm going to make an appointment with the doctor. I'm supposed to be on HRT anyway, so maybe it will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Hope 1 Posted August 15, 2011 When I read your post, my first thought was it sounds like hormones. My understanding is this surgery makes your whole body "re-boot"..I guess even the mind? If it were me? I'd definitely check about getting hormones levels tested. ps. CONGRATS on getting the lead singer position!!! 1 Coookies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas CPA 496 Posted September 21, 2011 I find that post surgery I sweat profusely while working out. Before surgery I sweated a lot less with more strenuous workout. Interesting about the hormone levels, may check it put don't really want to tamper with body to much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas CPA 496 Posted September 23, 2011 Checked with my doctor who checked with another specialist. They say it is not hormones. They said it is probably as weight is lost the body is operating more Efficiently and you will sweat more as exercise occurs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
