can't weight 8 Posted April 16, 2013 Hidradenitis suppurativa is where you have infected sweat glands in your groin or underarm area. I was wondering if someone with this condition has had the surgery and if so if their conditions improve due to the surgery. Thanks! Tina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering if someone with this condition has had the surgery and if so if their conditions improve due to the surgery. Thanks! Tina Yes! I've had persistant Hidradenitis Supporativa for years (about 20 now), which had been almost always active, including now. Had Sleeve surgery 6 days ago. One infected area is completely dry and the 'bad' area under my armpit is oozing alot less puss. I have a feeling it will close up by itself soon. To be honest I'm kind of shocked, did not expect this to almost cure up entirely in a week. In case it goes away entirely I'd let you know. For now theres like 80% improvement!

Glad to hear you'd is already getting better. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveFox 10 Posted September 26, 2013 Oh? Did you get the surgery already? Did your HS respond? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can't weight 8 Posted September 26, 2013 I had surgery on the 20th. Haven't had any issues from the HS but it hasn't been acting up for a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveFox 10 Posted September 26, 2013 I'm almost certain its related to certain types of food. After surgery it was almost gone since I haven't eaten anything but liquids for a week. When I started eating mushy stuff it started flaring up again. I kind of suspect it may have something to do with milk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mkak 251 Posted September 26, 2013 Yes, I too have HS and unfortunately mine actually flared up after surgery. I have a mild case but it progressed to moderate a few weeks post-op. My surgeon advised it is relatively normal for this to happen and it should settle down as my body gets back to normal. I'm praying the weight loss will help clear it up, but who knows? Best of luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
