Does The Sweating Stop?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had surgery yet, but it is all I think about!! I find myself always wondering what changes (besides weight) will happen post op. I find that I am ALWAYS hot and sweaty (especially in the face)...I am hoping with the weightloss, sweatloss will come hand in hand. Pleeeeeaaasssee someone say yes! Lol

I have always been sweaty, even when I was younger and much thinner. I have noticed I am much cooler a couple of months after surgery. I still sweat quite a bit when I work out, but not as much as before in "normal" situations.

Two weeks ago I was waiting for my leak test and i was freezing!! (i was fully dressed.). When the surgeon came in he chuckled. He pointed out that in June i was in the same room when I first met him. Now, 30 some pounds lighter, i didnt have as much 'insulation.' He was right!! And I rememeber sitting there with my husband that first day and worrying if i'd have to get undressed because I was all sweaty. (i didn't).

So yeah, i DO think the sweating is much better.

I love and Thank you for this Hope!! I am sure my husband will be just as thankful because if it were up to me our AC at home would never go above 68! We live in FLa. So imagine what our monthly electricity bill is!!

LOL!!! That's what my hubby keeps saying. We are in Texas and i told him that next year our bill should be lower. We have an a/c system where it is divided by sections and i DO keep my office & work room (i work w dogs with behavioral issues) at 68 degress! I can't STAND sweating around clients unless we are working outside. It's so embaressing.

My favorite part of the sleeve is the lack of sweating. I can now tolerate the south Florida heat. Never have the air in my car above low and my house stays at 75 degrees and I have to wear socks every night to sleep. I think it's more than just weightloss though. The part of your stomach that gets taken out has something to do with regulating body temperature. Either way.. definitely a plus side to surgery!

I am always cold now! I wear a jacket constantly - this is awesome for me as always being hot before! Best of luck to your body temperature!

I was the person that sweated all year long, my husband and I fought every day over the air conditioner in the car, in the house, in our Sunday school class, etc. my hair was always wet, no matter what the temp was outside, I live in Mississippi and you know we invented humidity! I am now 3 months post op and I'm down 73 lbs and I have been freezing from about one week after my surgery. I now sit around my house in sweat pants, fuzzy slippers, long sleeved shirt with a hoodie over it and a blanket on my legs! My family still can't believe it's really me doing that cause they have only seen me sweat and complain about the heat forever. I love it! I will take being cold any day over sweating like a dog!

I find that after I take my Vitamins in the AM, I start sweating profusely. My doctor says that I'm finally burning fat and that's why I'm sweating more. I'll take that as an excuse!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
