Good job on talking about the side effects and the lack of full informed consent about them by doctors. Thank you for making this video.

@@lewisdouglas8943Thank you for sharing and making me realise I’m not the only one suffering post surgery which I also had at 18. I’m now 40. Worst decision of my life. I take Oxybutinin and also Probantheine although this is currently out of stock in the UK. No one understand the thought process every time you go out having to think about what you have to wear to hide the condition. I also have special T-shirts that help and can send link if you don’t know about them. Thanks again, also a Lewis form the Uk!

Hi Lewis. Thank you for the video. I had this surgery 15 years ago and it’s ruined me. I have Horners Syndrome. No temperature control, Gustory sweating and the nightmare of CS. I had a tumour sat on my sympathetic nerve chain which ultimately led to ETS. I know exactly how you feel and send best wishes.

My kid has this and I was thinking about this surgery but I just found out that some countries have banned this surgery. I didn’t It know what the side effects were but I’m grateful for your video. I’m so sorry you are going through this and I wish doctors would be honorable and tell us the truth. I wonder if you could reverse it.

I recently got the ETS surgery for my excessive sweaty hands and feet and I’m so satisfied, dry, and happy! Do not be discouraged about compensatory sweating! I took the risk and would sweat somewhere else rather than my hands! I use and work with my hands 99% of the time anyways! Best of luck to everyone who suffered like I did! Tip: find a great doctor! I recommend finding someone who does robotic ETS! GL!

Hi Lewis. I had ETS for Axillary (under arm) sweating back in 2003. I was mislead just like you. Same spiel. Maybe we had the same surgeon! The CS outweighs the original problem but the dry hands are what cause me the most bother. It’s feels awful. I have to apply moisturiser constantly otherwise it feels like hell. Do you get that? It’s like the feeling when your hands are really dry and you touch towel or paper. How do you cope with that? Anyone reading - do not have ETS stick with Botox injections.

I watched your video again now, and it pisses me off, quite frankly, that people who are qualified to call themselves doctors and surgeons, can actually in a few minutes, decide that - instead of trying a less invasive method - somebody needs invasive surgery, which they know most likely won’t work and probably will leave the unfortunate suckers, me and you, with far more severe compensatory sweating than what we originally presented with. Unfortunately, my surgeon is now dead so there’s nothing I can do about that.
