Do you mean while in hospital? Trust me. It's not an issue. You feel like shit. Who cares if you smell a bit.

I put deodorant on an hour after I got out of recovery. You can use baby wipes and deodorant as soon as you are in recovery.. Don't "sweat it" haha :)

Lmao @dont sweat it... yes before n after surgery, atleast we can after.. i guess for some people smell isnt a issue, hahaha i may be jus about the only wiered one, out of everything im more worried about smell. I been so ready for this surgery n im scared n nervous but worried about my smell take of the scared n nervousness. I have never had surgery in my life.

I had similar thoughts going in. I used to be a constant faucet so the thought of showing up somewhere with no deo on was concerning to say the least.

Luckily my fears were for nothing. After taking my shower in the morning (using the ridiculously strong soap they gave me) I knew I'd be fresh for at least an hour or so. I kept the A/C on pretty high for the ride to the hospital and then once checked in it was a breeze. I was only in the waiting room for about 20 minutes after changing in the hospital gown. Then they took me to the Operating Room where they must have had the thermostat set to about 50.

When I woke up, the recovery room was pretty cool as well and then I was taken up to the room where I stayed for the night and was free to put on deo, though I think the combo of the cool room, the breezy hospital gown and lots of TV watching didn't push my body too much.

Also the excessive sweating gets better as your weight goes down. Mine is pretty much gone.

Completely agreed. I actually get cold at times now and for the first time in 20+ years I'm going to need to invest in a jacket for the winter. No more walking around comfortably in below zero temperatures in just my t-shirt.

      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.
