Sweats after surgery?

Im 5 days post op today too and my hands n feet are cool but im still sweating, ive been sitting with a fan on me for days
It was for me too! I thought something was wrong, but remembered everyone talking about your hormones going all out of wack. It passed after a few weeks and all became normal, or should I say what is the NEW normal. I still sometimes feel like I perspire more at times, but I am 51 lol. No hot flashes as of yet, but I do sweat at times. I again chock this up to the huge change in my life and hormones trying to readjust after surgery. It has only been 5 1/2 months for me, that is not a long time, but in some ways it feels as though I have been living with my sleeve for years. And I say that in a good way, I love my sleeve.
If you are concerned though in anyway you should call your doctors office for reassurance. Congrats to you, good luck on your journey! You are in for a good ride, follow plan and you will be astonished at how fast the weight comes off!

I had them too in the first few days. I have been in menopause for several years, and they wanted me to stop my estrogen before surgery, as it can increase the risk of clots. So I figured it was just that, but they have gone away now. The weird thing, I would get really cold, esp. at night, and be chilled and shivering, which I discovered was when I needed more pain meds -it was like I couldn't relax my muscles. That just lasted a few days or a week. I'm two weeks out now and the sweats and chills are gone -I actually feel much better than I have in several years!
