Severe Sweating After Every Meal

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hayward, CA

I'm 3+ years post op (VSG) sleeve surgery. I severely sweat with EVERY meal no matter what it is... Sometimes up to 30 minutes afterwards. It doesn't matter what I'm eating, even if it's just a protein shake. Does anyone else have this problem? It's not dumping with EVERY MEAL...no matter what I'm eating.

Anyone Deal With Chronic Itching And Skin Conditions?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Somerset, KY

I came to this site hoping to find someone that shares my experience. For the last 3 years I have suffered from chronic itching and skin yeast infections. My doctor sent me to a dermatologist who looked under my breast and said yeast. He told me to soak in vinegar and walked out the door. I listened and began soaking. My symptoms still persisted. I have itching under my arms, under and between my breast, in my butt crack, in my perrinial area, in my groin and of course vaginal yeast infections… read more

I Have A Lump Of Fat Under My Right Breast That Has Been There For A Long Time. 15 Yrs At Least. And Im Wondering If Anyone Else Has This.

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Altona, MB

My husband says I had it even when we were dating 11 yrs ago. But i didn't notice until I gained 100+ lbs. Now I have lost 36lbs and it seems like its even bigger. It doesnt hurt when squish or press on it. But it makes wearing a bra a pain in the ***. Should I be concerned? Or is it just extra tissue??

A MyObesityTeam Member

Always have something like that checked.

Multiple Medical N Weight Loss (outside The Us)

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Toronto, ON

Well been here for a while reading and posting on occasion. But never really read anyone who is similar to our living issues.

We are on disability which as many know means u live (survive) under the poverty line (under since u dont even make the base poverty line income). We live in a monthly basis of being food deprived so eating one meal a day is very much the norm. It isnt health but it becomes the only option. We depend on local food pantries for supply of fresh veg once a month and… read more

Hamilton, MT

Why is hard for me to not stop eating a lot. I am wanting to lose weight but I keep binge eating. I have a wedding to be at next month

A MyObesityTeam Member

Never denie yourself that leads to benge eating. Also you need to find someone to talk to and find out why you benge eat. Therapy helps if it's nothing more then a confident who you can talk to.
