Blue fingers
OK so I knew that people said I would feel colder after WLS but my fingers have turned blue 2 days in a row now! Under my fingernails it turns a dark almost purple blue. What could this be??? Anyone else experience this?
All I can think of is circulation issues or oxygen issues. I feel fine. I am even running for exercise and not having issues. It does happen while I am at work and get cold. I have been much colder in my life and never had blue fingers. I go to my primary doctor anyway tomorrow so I will obviously bring it up but any input would be appreciated.

You need to go to a doctor ASAP. Blue fingers and toes can be a sign of a lot of things.
However, I had this happen to my toes. I went to the ER several times because I was scared. I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Syndrome. My toes got so cold that I had to run them under warm water to get them to stop hurting. I started using heat packs in my shoes during the winter and carried ones for my hands in my jacket.
I found that the only cure was moving someplace warmer. So I moved to Texas. My toes still get slight blue in the summer when the AC is on really high or in the winter when it gets blow 50 ...BURRRRRRR (that's freezing in Texas)
