Need Advice
I have this weird thing going on with me. I am sweating like a pig. All the time, and I am always so thirsty all the time, I can't keep enough water in my body. I have to drink like every 2 min. Sometimes even more often that that. My mouth just get super super dry! Is this normal? It is like having a constant hot flash and I am in the middle of the sarhara desert. It is making me nuts. Any suggestions or am I alone in this?

Sending you (((((((((((Rhonda))))))))))) and hoping it is nothing serious!!
I can tell you that I get sweaty and tired after eating a lot of times. It seems like the only symptoms of dumping I get, but can't seem to pinpoint what causes it, it happens too often.
I definitely would call your surgeon and see what he thinks. Keep us posted sweetie!!!
Hope the kids had a good first day back at school!

Hi Rhonda. I agree, time to call your doctor and have them rule out things like diabetes, thyroid issues, infection, and make sure you're ok. Hope you feel better very soon.

Call your doc is the best advice. I do the sweating thing after I eat something that is not good for me. Maybe too many carbs or sugars, that is how I know I have done something wrong to my pouch. But call the doc, it's important that he knows about this, you are very new at being post op.
Good luck, Diane

Thanks for all the advice. I really appriciate it. I did call hte doctor and what he says is......
It is the big "M" word. Menopause. I had a feeling as I di d not eat anything like sugar or fat or anything like that. He said I should only worry if I also get the chills with it. He offered to put me on something that would help with the sweats. Hormorne something, but I declined saying I have enough meds. He said If I changed my mind to call him. Other than this I am feeling great. My doctor said a lot happens when you loose so much weight fast and my body is letting out toxins and other things it has stored within the fat cells. Interesting as I see it. So I guess now I am going to grow a mustache or horns or something, isn't that what menopause does to you? lol Only kidding. But it makes sense now. Rhonda
