Suggest Treatment For Night Sweats After Undergoing Lapband Surgery

I had lapband surgery five days ago, but had to have the band removed three days ago due to my stomach not being the right type for the band. Since coming home two days ago I have experienced horrendous night sweats both nights. My temperature now is 37.1.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

There is chance that the vagus nerve has been cut off during surgery.

Vagus is the parasympathetic innervation to the lower part of the stomach.

If its been cut of at any point of time sweating may occur.

I advice you to visit nearby doctor that will guide you whether the innervation has been cut of or not.

Further management can than only be possible.

We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.
Thank you,
