Cnt get warm.  Wearing 3 layers, burning candles, drinking hot tea.  This feels like I was  at 1 month out.  Went skiing a few weeks ago and it started then.  My PCP is scheduling me for a full physical next month, maybe something will show up in labs
Anyone over a yearf out still cold?.

Yes, all the time.  I was thinking of going to AZ or San Diego in the next week or two.  Both won't hit the 70's, so I'll pass till they get warmer.  Don't have the answer...just the same problem.  Brian

 It could be WLS-related, or not, Lber ..

  One non-WLS cause could be hypothyroidism ..   Simple enough to detect with a three-pronged blood test ..   

  As far as WLS-related, could you be anemic?   What are your blood hemo levels? 

  In general, the post-op "coldies" can be caused by either the lack of body fat and/or a crash in the metabolic rate of the body in response to the major, rapid weight loss ..   This is the same thing that anorectics commonly experience as a result of their extremely-limited food intake .. 

  If you're going to be checked by a PCP, be sure he/she knows and understands your WLS and takes that into account when ordering tests ..    Good luck!

Please, please, please let us know if they help with the coldness.  It would be great if there was a magic pill that could help (without the side effects).  Brian

5 1/2 years post, still cold all the time.  It's part of the WLS deal if you live in the north.

I am almost 4 years out and I still freeze. I actually moved to texas to get away from the NY winters because I just couldn't stand it anymore. I LOVE the hot summers, and the mild winters. It was 70 today and that is fine by me.
