Regretful ETS (Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy)

[Tiranaboo]

I'm scheduled for this on March 9th....so confused on what to do :(

[SexBirdCake]

I finally decided not to go through with ETS after watching your video series. Thank you so much.

[jennifermsmith76]

How is HH caused by diet? HH ruins my life!!!!

[KurrentEvents]

ETS IS BUTCHERY. It is not purely cosmetic. It has serious side effects that will make your life a living hell. You'll sweat through your clothes, destroy your body's immune system response, cause muscle atrophy, and destroy what life you have now, even if you have sweaty hands/feet/face/etc. don't trust any surgeon who recommends ETS.....

[deadlywithguitar]

thers from seeking an emotional reassurance by saying your "creator" has provided the tools necessary for them to fix it on their own, for if this were true then people wouldn't spend thousands of dollars on this surgery. And with that logic, we would also have a cure for cancer, diabetes, HIV and AIDS, and every other form of disease.

[deadlywithguitar]

This surgery has helped many people with not only severe sweating problems, but with severe blushing problems to the extent where it interferes with their social lives and their work. It is a very successful surgery which there are many positive feedback from. And you call the surgery superficial, have you not heard of plastic surgeons? This is no where near the superficiality of a nose reconstruction or a breast augmentation, for it actually benefits those who receive it. Please do not deter o

This guy is on drugs.

[KurrentEvents]

Anybody who is considering this surgery is a complete moron. Chubakaman1994, you are an idiot. ETS is not the answer to Hyperhidrosis. It makes your life worse. You must be a surgeon who practices this. You don't ever get surgery which is irreversible. ETS is irreversible, and you'll regret it.

[chubakaman1994]

And it is two holes not three... i think you should learn your facts before you make a video stating why people should not get it. It is completely safe and fast.

[chubakaman1994]

I got this done on for my hands and i hope that my people get this surgery done.

[chubakaman1994]

I got this procedure done, and i am a healthy young teenage boy. I think that mtbikemikeg is completely nuts. First of all you should have gotten them done at the same time, and second on all i tried hundreds of things to stop my sweating, and nothing worked. This is not superficial, it is a life changing and forever lasting fix that helps men and women around the world. I would never regret getting this surgery.

[ozmanuk]

Everything i suffer from is somebody else is fault. Sue everyone.

[fairystar26]

I had ETS and my life is 100% better! Honestly, and I used to sweat like a cold drink! I appreciate your opinion, but the surgery has come a long way since even just the year 2000.... I got it in 2008 and I would NEVER go back.

[omeregypt]

@fairystar26 Hello where/in wich country did you do the surgery??

thanks,,

[fairystar26]

@omeregypt I got it in Southern California in the US

[omeregypt]

@fairystar26 how much it cost? what's the name of yor doctor and the name of the city?

thanks,

[fairystar26]

@omeregypt It was covered by the insurance I had at the time, Dr. Kong, Fontana California.

[mtbikemikeg]

@omeregypt you're crazy for wanting to get this done. How active are you guys? Do you ever go for a run or bike ride? When you can't sweat your head overheats and you can't be outside when it's most beautiful.  Makes travelling in the tropics unbearable. Cool breezes don't cool you off, your pants are soaking wet but your armpits and forehead are dry. You'll feel like a mutant.

[omeregypt]

@mtbikemikeg i have hyperhidrosis all my life. I'ts difficult to life with this. Do you know a alternative then for ETS?

[mtbikemikeg]

@omeregypt Everybody sweats. You are human. ETS doesn't cure you. It just moves the problem. Go to the source. Look at your diet. What's your Body Fat Percentage? How much salt, caffeine, refined sugar, alcohol do you partake of? How much do you exercise? How much water, carbs and sleep do you get in a day? What are you allergic to? (Many people are allergic to milk, gluten or other substances and don't even know it.) Go on a raw food diet for a month and observe the results.

[commonfortable]

@fairystar26 Hi, I am considering the surgery because I have sweaty hands. Tell me how this has changed you life.

[gufniata]

i quick question if I may, and forgive me if I sound offensive, needless to say thats not what I aim to be. Did you become such a laid back, relaxed and phlegmatic due to the ETS, or is that just your personality? Thanks, I want to find out if my anxiety is the root cause of my non-stop profuse sweating

[gufniata]

thank you for your video, i like your way of thinking

[MrStylus88]

Thanks man

[CH4UK]

...ting that I had pre ETS. Don't be put off the surgery but do plenty of research and make up your own mind. :)

[CH4UK]

I had bilateral ETS surgery a few years ago and it completely changed my life for the better. I do get compensatory sweating on the front and back of my torso and behind my knees but 85% of the time I can cover it with clothes and you just learn to take an extra top if you go somewhere in case you need to change. I live in a tropical climate so sweating is a problem for a lot of people so I can sort of blend in, it's not nice being damp all the time but I'd rather have that than the facial swea

[TastyTacoBoy]

I had ETS at age 28 in 1998 after experiencing hyperhydrosis on the face since I was itty bitty. It was causing problems at work. I'm now 40. I do compensatory sweat. But it is usually, not always, able to be tolerate or hidden and is controlled quite a bit with proper clothing. I don't facial sweat or sweat under the arms anymore. I do get night sweats a few times a year. Other than that, I haven't had too many negative effects.

[MrsRazzmatazz]

Learn to accept yourselves. I did and I've never lived better.

[jukio02]

i dont think im going to get the surgery, i dont think its worth the risk.

[nickhz]

Hey, thanks for posting this.

[MyHellonYourEarth]

ETS ruined MY LIFE!!! I CANT GO OUTSIDE FOR 2 MINUTE IN HEAT, IT LOOKS AS IF I PISSED MY PANTS AND PANTS...I CANT BELIEVE I DID THIS TO MYSELF..I SHOULDVE RESEARCHED IT SOME MORE...@SLYR539 PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS SURGERY...GET BOTOX INSTEAD...YOU WILL MAKE YOUR PROBLEM 100X'S WORSE..IM A CUTE 30 FEMALE WHO STOPPED LIVING THE DAY I GOT ETS DONE

[erocksssmacsss]

@MyHellonYourEarth when did you get this done can you tell me more?

[psxlady]

Im sorry you had a bad experience with your surgeon. I had this surgery done and it was 100% completely successful. I would recommend people research their surgeon before having this performed. Like every surgery there are risks involved but the methods used today are a little better than 10 years ago.

[tenorManiacX]

I'm soo sorry all you guys had bad experiences with having an ETS :(. I'm 18 and after trying several nasty creams, Glycopyrrolate, a few different antibiotics, and 45 botox injections in each hand (HORRIBLE), I felt I needed to get this done. I was scared at first and knew my risks, but my doctor was very knowledgeable and I really trusted him. I don't agree entirely that it's diet that causes this though. I'm really sorry about your surgery though and I wish all you guys the best of luck.

[kaymelmakeup]

@tenorManiacX What was your experience? any side effects? I'm considering the surgery..

-Thanks

[tenorManiacX]

@kaymelmakeup Of course many people who have commented on this video have had such terrible results (which I'm really sorry for), but everyone is going to have a different result since we're all different. My long term side effects after my surgery (up to date from 11/2010) has just been the compensatory sweating which would get pretty annoying, but that has been going away over time, and a friend who had this same procedure 2 years ago says it goes away soo much more as time passes.

[kaymelmakeup]

@tenorManiacX WOW THANKS! It scares me because reading all these comments are like horror stories. I dont think i could handle what happened to all of them. :/

[tenorManiacX]

@kaymelmakeup Also, no fatigue or anything else people here claim to be a "victim" of. Few people are saying they clamp your thoracic nerves... Yes, if these people did minimal research themselves, they would know that this is the whole point of the procedure. When they clip your sympathetic nerves (in the T1-T6 or whichever ones they are), it takes about a week for them to be totally damaged (which is the point), and cannot be reversible. If you have anymore questions though, feel free to ask(:

[mendesb76]

i am another victim: extreme lack of energy, poor thermoregulation, compensatory sweating. I overheat easily when the temperature goes above 65F. The whole problem is the nerve t2. Until 2003 the doctors had no idea about WTF they were doing, now they know they cant touch the nerve t2. Too late for me, I had mine done in 2001 .

[slyr539]

im really considering not going through with the surgery now. i dont know what to do

[mtbikemikeg]

@slyr539 get healthy. checkout theliferegenerator channel.

[thecalledmelos]

I can relate to u man. I didn't get ETS but I was about to. I was, however, a victim of paxil... which gave me HH, 60 pound weight gain, loss of sight, suicidal thougts, and the zombiefied state of mind which made me lose 5 years of my life. In ALL of your videos u tell it how it is, I was ignorant enough to think of raw-fooders as hippies, but now I see their wisdom and I ough to be like them

[szymborski11]

Sweating problems is becoming more and more of an issue in the world.. because its so normal for people to constantly eat chips, cookies, and pre package food, which ALL CONTAIN HYDROGENATED OIL, its changing the composition of our tissue, and it hardens within the system, and the system tries to get it out and overcompensate by constantly sweating and sweating.

Raw veganism is dangerous from my experience as an ETS victim, you need to het the righ OIls in the diet, that is KEY.

[jukio02]

@szymborski11 ya i know what you mean, after about a month on my diet, ive actually feel alot more healthier and i notice i dont sweat as much anymroe. the surgery is just an easy way out, people dont want to put the time and effort anymore. the answer is just get healthy and love yourself, people need to see that

[szymborski11]

NO NO NO!!!.. Hydrogenated OILS, SOy Oil, And Canola Oil, is the cause for Hyperhydrosis...... PERIOD.

. Not animal foods. I am an ETS Victim, who tried the raw vegan thing... your going to break down your body, within a few years !.warning warning.. You Need saturated Fats and animal foods. Read Nutrtion and Physical degenaration. Become aware of Weston A Price. grass fed meats, and diary is a different story.

[justintime42000]

@szymborski11 I completely disagree. HH is genetic for most people.

[szymborski11]

@justintime42000 well i woould agree that genetics is a factor, as it in in all diseases, but i think its very important to look at diet, ANd understand why its important to aviod certian substances, like hydrogenated oils, which basically screw up the bodies lymph system, Healthy diet can be a HUGE help. People are ignorant of how poorly they are eating and how its affecting there bodies systems. this is my opinion based on my experience and research.

[syafiqibs]

hi!im now battling with severe cs to.how did u heal urself?please any advice?im willing to fight this.its done.theres no point of being angry.at that time.we all think it was for the best decision.but it turns out the other way.so i can either choose to be depressed all my life or move on and try something to find relief.please i would appreciate it if u can email me any tips on fighting this.

[MrLunafied]

My advice is to take the clamps out...what can you loose?

[Termyon]

Another victim here !

[EliteDefenseInc]

I am another victim of ets surgery. I had T2 clamped/ruined. Don't let an unethical surgeon ruin your body. Trust me.

[spitNgunz]

i have also had ETS! if you are a hyperhydrosis sufferer or sufer from blushing DO NOT CONSIDER ETS!.. IT HAS RUINED MY LIFE!!! i had ETS back in 2003, had T2 cut for HH an have been dealing with hundreds of sideeffects since the surgery!.. if you want to know the truth please visit this forum.. etsandreversals.yuku dot c o m

use the link above with an actual dot an put the c o m together as this site will not let you post links .. thanks!

[loadmaster5000]

I got ets surgery on t2 t3. It has ruined my life. I was never warned about any of the serious side effects that occur.

[sc2dave]

@loadmaster5000 ,what were the serious side effects?

[loadmaster5000]

@sc2dave low heart rate. Anhidrosis of the top third of my body. dry eyes. Dry scalp and facial skin. Blood circulation problems. Circulation problems of the hands. Serious lack of energy. Weird dead feeling from the top third of my body. Blood pressure too low. Fainting spells when standing. ect ect ect. these are known side effects from sympathectomies. I was never informed before surgery.

[mtbikemikeg]

@loadmaster5000 yep, I experience all of these. The doc never told me about them. Only thing he warned was compensatory sweating where you sweat tons around your belly and groin.

Over-sweating seems like such a curse, but in fact it is the body trying to tell you you have a toxicity problem ... too much salt, fat, caffeine, alcohol, protein, white sugar, white flour, white rice, high fructose corn syrup, metal poisoning, etc.

I would be sooo grateful if I could sweat on my face again.

[posch21]

Great Talking! & Important Information
