I am a little over 3 months post-op & have lost 50 pounds since this started around April. I'm quite happy with my weight loss even though it's slow, it's been consistent with about 2 pounds a week; I have 50 pounds to go. What I'm confused with is suddenly I have stinky armpits!! It started a few weeks ago. Maybe my fat is burning up stored stinky cells?

It's the bacterial byproduct of being in ketosis. I use Mitchum, too. I've been known to "freshen up" my pits with hand sanitizer 0.O

I carry Listerine, as well.

But why now? I've been in and out of ketosis for 6 months.

The bacteria are strong and concentrated! Make sure you are drinking 96oz of Water. Also try using dial soap or any antibacterial you like, daily.

      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.
