COLD HANDS AND FEET

I AM 5 WEEKS OUT AND MY HANDS AND FEET ARE ALWAYS COLD! ANYONE ELSE EXPIERIENCE THIS! THANKS. JM

Yes, I too have the cold hands and feet but I am only a little over a week postop. I account it to the blood thinners they gave me in the hospital to prevent clots. Let's hope that it goes away! Tracy

Hi John, I had my surgery on 12/16 and I too suffer with cold hands and feet even when the heat is on in my home. Fran

John, I had my surgery May 18, 2004 and I have had cold feet and hands since surgery. Before surgery I would be wearing shorts now as we talk and now I cover up with layers of clothing and blankets to keep warm. Best wishes on your new journey, Teri 243/126

John, I have not had surgery yet, but one of the side effects my surgeon advised me of was an intolerance to cold. So, if it's any relief, it is normal. Good luck! Deb

Hi there John, I had my surgery May 20th 2004 and let me tell you I have the same problem I too used to always be hot but since the surgery I am always cold. If you ask me I feel it's a small price to pay for what I have gotten in return Have a wonderful day and try and stay warm! Evelyn 247/143/past goal of losing 100 lbs
