Hot flashes & sweating



Recommended Posts

Sweating I can't take it any more. I randomly break out in a sweat several times a day. Not at all typical for me. Please tell me this will end. Especially around my neck and forehead. Ugh.

I don't think there is anything particular to weight loss surgery that would normally cause this. I think it's more usual to have that related to hormonal changes or issues. I suppose metabolic issues could contribute but I'm no doctor. I would go see your GP and let them check you out.

You're not using any supplements containing stimulants, like for the gym, are you? caffeine, guarana, yohimbe, etc can all get you fired up when combined with exhertion.

I'm sure it's hormonal. Really not exercising too much as I injured my knee. The only thing is the caffeine but I only drink tea and it doesn't necessarily seem related. Thanks for your thoughts though.

@@Maryw - I do the same thing. I think it is all menopause, sorry. I am 52. I have noticed being a lot colder - I guess the 70lb coat made a difference.

Have you missed any monthly's? If so, I would be checked out with the GP to see if its the start of menopause.

Hot sweats are horrible. I had them for over a year then decided to go onto HRT and the difference was amazing.

Hope you feel better soon!!

I'm 52 also and menopausal but was always cold prior to my surgery. I know my hormones are out of whack and think the change of diet screws with the hormones more. Thanks all for your support.

Not just the change in diet, but the rapid weight loss. There are a lot of hormones stored in fat and when it breaks down, those get released back into the body. It's one of the reasons pre-menopausal women experience a spike in fertility post-op.

      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?
