Another Surgery Needed
Hey everyone. Long time no post. I decided to leave an update even though it has been a while since the surgery. So now that it’s almost been two years, and without a second surgery, I can tell you... I require a second surgery. I returned from my deployment to Afghanistan in August so now I’m ready for round two. I’m sweating again, although not as bad as before my first surgery, but I am still sweating without activity as before. It’s frustrating, but I’m hoping a second helping is all that’s needed to end it for good. I’ll be scheduling it for next month (Feb) so I’m good and healed by summer. Fortunely for me, nothing crazy is coming up with my military unit, so I should be good. Anywho, I will let you know when it’s done and give some updates as I go. Good luck everyone, and may the force be with you!
2 Month Update.
Hello again and happy Independence Day! It's been two months since the procedure and yes, the dreaded sweat has returned, but not even comparable to what it used to be. Everything is now healed, no tenderness, swelling, or pain. The hair has also grown back as normal and the darkness of the areas have gone away.
I haven't started using regular deodorant w/ anti-persperent yet, just been using my Men's Gold Bond Ultimate body powder spray in the hot spots. Depending on what I'm doing, I can sit still and not sweat or maybe get a hotspot patch of sweat in the arm pit area of the shirt. However, non-strenuous movement, like normal walking or moving around an office, will trigger the heavier sweating. It's definitely not as perfuse as it was before but it's still noticeable. Also, if I layer my clothing, like a t-shirt under a dress shirt, the sweat will come with the body rising temp and can show through my dress shirt, which I am not a happy camper about. However, looking at previous reviews, I knew the day would come where I would eventually sweat and would have to react accordingly. So when I get back to TN, I will call up my doc and setup another appointment to seal the deal. I am quite pleased with the results thus far just ready to take that extra step to say goodbye to sweaty (NON-ACTIVE) armpits.
I am at about a 60% to 70% solution to what it was so, if you're looking at that then one might be enough. If you want to stop it completely, then you'll probably have to end up getting two. I thought I was special and only needed one but I am as normal as the previous individuals that had this operation. This program is a great success and am so glad I didn't even try botox. This will be the last review until after my next procedure or if something comes up that needs to be addressed. Hope my reviews have been inspirational and informative. Have a good one peeps, talk to you soon.

1 Month Update
Hey everyone. So it's been a month since my operation. I've attached pictures for your viewing. The biggest change I notice is that the skin is a bit darker in the arm pit with sporadic hair growth in the area vs. even growth of hair. As a guy, this is very much the least of my worries, since I don't have to shave the area and not concerned with the way it looks.
I am in the military and just returned from training where I had no access to showers and was only privy to washing myself with a canteen and baby wipes. I was able to keep the area generally clean daily with some Neosporin to assist in the healing. What I'm not sure about is that the area gets a little itchy but not unmanageable. It's either due to the area being dry or from the hair growing back in, but it might be both. At the touch though, my left armpit is a tiny bit tender but the right is good to go. All feeling has returned with no numbness in either one.
So being down in LA training, I was sweating outside pretty much everyday all over. At my heaviest sweating, the arm pits were a bit leaky but that's expected with the environment I was in. So being home for two days and going out last night, the area stayed dry. I would feel in every once in a while and check, and nothing. I'll be in AZ for three months so when I come back to TN, I'll decide if I need to get the second surgery. As of right now, if it stays the way it is, I am probably not going to get it done. I'd be one of the lucky few that can get the one and done.
Thanks for reading, if anything changes, I'll let you all know. Thanks!

Belle Meade Dermatology. Kalyn and her assistant, Jessica, were great. They were very friendly and knowledgable. You could obviously tell they both knew exactly what they were doing and the best methods and practices. If you are in the Nashville area, I highly recommend you go here to get it done. Quick in and out and you can go about your day.
