My BF is also overweight and uses the Fentanyl patch. It has been the best pain medication he's tried since his 5-level lumbar fusion in '04. He doesn't work out but is very active, and does sweat.
I apply the patch on his upper back, between the shoulder blades. What works best to keep his patch in place is wide paper tape. He can even shower and not lose the patch.
If the patch helps your pain, a different med might not be necessary.
