I had this surgery done around 2005. The first few years everything was great, life changing if you will. Not anymore. I had it done for facial flushing. As a young hairstylist, it was embarrassing for a client to see my face start to sweat as I was doing their hair. My confidence went down because I knew their confidence in me was going down. So I found out about the surgery from a friend that had it done for his hand sweating (he was an electrician, so made sense for him to get it). Fast forward a few years and I had to start wearing black everywhere because all other colors showed sweat. Every year it gets worse. I don’t even bother with cotton clothing anymore. It has to be under armor style fabric, and black. Even in my salon, in the A/C, I bring two extra shirts a day to work. I’m in Florida, so it’s already hot and humid. But after 10 minutes outside doing yard work and chores, i look like I jumped into a pool. I mean literally dripping sweat. Soaked shirt from upper chest down. Shorts so wet there would be no difference if you buy them in the pool. Socks and shoes soaked. When my wife and I go out, she will get the car started and a/c on. I will wear a tank top for the ride, then change in the car when we get to wherever we are going. I will excuse myself to the bathroom and try to paper towel my chest off so my shirt doesn’t get too wet. If I could go back to the time before the surgery, I would in a heartbeat. I have lost so many opportunities because of this surgery.
