I'm 2.5 yrs post op, down 210lbs and stable at about 125lbs. Give or take 5 to 7lbs... The first few months post op I was fine but by the time I was 6 months out I was constantly cold, I have to have it (no kidding) like 90 degrees to feel comfortable. I wear 2 socks, long john's, jeans, a long sleeve shirt with at least 2 sweaters with a hoodie, a thick pea coat 2 scarves a hat and gloves when I leave my house when I'm home just minus the scarves, hat and gloves.... Will it ever get better?

My bf and I are constantly struggling over the thermostat in our house. I will turn it up and he comes right behind me a turns it down :-(

Does anyone else have this problem, OHHHH and will my hair ever grow back.....

Are you sure you're not anemic?  I was at one point & 90 was perfectly comfortable for me. 80 - 84 and I was seriously wearing long sleeve tops & sweat pants just to stay "okay", not even warm.  75 - 80 & I was wearing the above & a zip up hoodie.

No, I've checked several times and I'm not anemic. I just can't get warm no matter what I do. I have to carry a box of kleenexes around with me so my nose doesn't drip everywhere from being so cold...

You want electric throw blanket on the couch, then an electric mattress pad in bed.  Both will make a world of difference...OH...and fleece leggings!
