body order

I have a queation . I have spoken to some post -op and for some reason it has come to my attention that when you have your surgery you will develop body ordor is that true. If so what type of ordor. I was also inform that for ladies the crotch area starts to develop order that close to under arm. Bowel movement are small but DEADLY as well as gas. pls tell me this isn't so. If it is so pls tell me what is one to do.

I am 7 weeks out as of today and no B.O. to speak of on this gal... If anything, I am able to keep cleaner since dropping 44 lbs... Now as for the bowel movements, yes that is 100% true sometimes... I notice it smells stronger than it ever used to but it's not an every day occurence for me either... I don't have gas very often either other than burping... I don't know that there is much you could do to make the smells any better??? I just figure its a part of post-op life and it's sure better than being as heavy as I was... At least with that issue, you can just FLUSH and its gone... Chelle In NNY

Thnak you . Uhhhhhhhha I can breath again I thought I was going to be striaght ouy FUNKY. lol

Hi Pamela I did not have body odor pre-op and I have not experience any post-op. It is not true that "you will develop body odor". I guess it all depends on the individual. Wishing you all the best. Glenda

To say that it WILL (noifsandsorbuts) happen would be a lie, but it CAN happen. It has to do with the skin folds, yeast, sweat and natural body odor, or whatever, which grows or starts between/underneath them. But this can also be a problem for people who are overweight even post-op (or for those who are not even considering surgery). Rashing can also be a problem too.
