I'm cold

I had Lapband surgery December 7th. Everything is going much better than I ever expected. The only problem I have, and I don't know if it is related to the surgery, is I'm so cold. I have always been hot when everone else is comfortable. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi Mary, I have no idea if it is related either... but same as you, I was always hot, and since surgery 2 weeks ago, I can't warm up sufficiently unless I'm bundled up with thick pajamas and thermal blankets. I've talked to a few people in my support group here that are post op, and some of them have experienced the same thing, but noone seems to know the cause. Let us know if you find anything out . peace and all good things this holiday season. Sarah

Hi Mary I've been freezing too...I just can't seem to warm up at all. My surgery was Dec. 10th. I was always the hot one in the family...freezing everyone else out. Now I'm crankin up the heat and stokin them out. Wierd, huh? Take care Joanie

It's the surgery. Everyone that has this surgery must deal with being cold. Our bodies go through such a change and we drop weight so fast. If I don't get enough food in me I get really cold. I have never been cold before and in fact I would complain ALL the time that it was to hot. Donna

I had my surgery on December 6th, and was freezing cold also. I asked the surgeon at my followup about this...he said our bodies are now in a state of catabolism...they are eating themselves, and we will be cold for a while, but that will go away with time, and increased calorie consumption. I hope this (and a big warm blanket) helps!

hello, I had surgery the 14th and my family thinks im crazy.im freezing alllllll the time.on christmas,when we are making our rounds to different familys homes,they could always find me on there couch with there throw blanks around me,lol.at work they bought me a heater to put by my desk lol. I hope we get warm soon.

Same here, used to be the hot one all the time, now I cannot stay warm unless under blankets and dogs! Have been told it is due to hormone changes that happen after this surgery, also we become more fertile afterwards with the hormone changes. Emily
