Okay thanks to a special lady im going to give it another shot.

Here is my question anyone out there that would sweat an unusual amount before surgery? Did it get better after surgery?

Like crazy ALL THE TIME!!! I bought a pillow at costco today (Frost). It is a memory foam type that is supposed to stay cool on both sides. If I could stop my head from being soaking wet I have to think I'll be more comfortable.

I did sweat a lot, and I live in a very hot and humid climate. It was awful.

Most of my sweating though was due to my hyper-active thyroid.

After thyroid treatment and WLS, I am finally starting to feel cooler.

I love it!

I have thyroid problems too it is in remission for now but the head sweating my gosh its killing me. Im hoping wls will help.

I sweat like crazy...and I live in Maine...cold northeast. I am post op...lost 60# from highest weight till now...43#post op and I am still sweating like crazy. Hope it improves as I loose weight, but I am a bit discouraged.

I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. Prior to surgery I sweated profusely. Even when the temperatures approached 32 degrees F, I would drive around with the car window open. When I worked outdoors, I would come in and my shirt was totally soaked.

After surgery, this condition went away. I no longer sweat profusely. But on the flip side, I do feel the cold, the chill in my bones. Thank God someone invented hand warmers for when I shovel snow in the wintertime.

Doxaholic-. I just drip all the time..gross gross gross...it's my face which is the worst...I hate people staring at me. Sometimes I tell them I'm having a hot flash. Anything to get them to stop staring. At least it is just sweat...I don't stink.

Absolutely!!!! From places i did not even know i could sweat. Now, i dont sweat unless i am working out.

In fact, the opposite happens. I am cold all the time and even in the summer have a jacket on. LOL.

I prefer it that way because sweating sucked!

[Raynbolite 302]

I can't wait for this to happen to me....bring on the cold! Please!

Oh MY GOODNESS!!! I would sweat all of the time!! Even just sitting in a chair. Anytime I moved!! NOW nope!! I'm cold a lot. Before, if I got just a little stressed it was so embarrassing!! Thank goodness if I sweat it is very rare!! BTW I also have thyroid problems.

[OKCPirate 5,323]

It used to be extremely embarrassing, now only moderately so.

I used to sweat so badly, especially at night. I would keep my bedroom super cold and run a fan but would still wake up sweating. The house would have to be sitting at about 68 for me to be comfortable during the day. Now I am constantly freezing. My thermostat is set at 75 and I'm still cold. In my classes my fellow students would complain about the warm temps and I'd be sitting there shivering in my shirt and sweater. I definitely appreciate it because I can't use antiperspirant (only deodorant) due to my hs issues under my arms. It makes my life a whole lot easier not having to deal with the displeasure of being moist.
