But does anyone else notice that their body odor has changed? My underarms smells different after being sleeved. Probably TMI, but it's just something ive noticed. I mean, I shower like I always have, every day. But my underarms seems to smell a bit funky now. Not cool.

Same here. I find myself having to freshen up mid-day. Never had to do that pre-sleeve. On a brighter note, I haven't had the sweat rashes in my fat rolls since surgery.

I haven't noticed that but have noticed I don't have to shave my legs as often...hair doesn't grow as fast. :)

I have noticed that since surgery if I'm getting all my Water in my BO is very minimal, however if I'm dehydrated it gets a lot worse.

When you really restrict your carbs, you can go into ketosis. It gives off a different body & breath odor. In nursing school we used to smell diabetic's breath--smelled like Juicy fruit gum only kind of decay like! Don't know if this is what is going on here but definitely know what we eat affects how we smell....

I changed deodorants 5 days post surgery and that has really helped.

I'm more lit OTR above, I used to have a really sour acidic smell, now I have barely any odor at all - at least that's what my nose tells me, the wife confirms it too. I don't sweat as much either so that helps.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
