Night sweats hot flashes

So I am 6 days post op and the last 2 days have been experiencing  night sweats and occasional hot flashes........anyone else experienced this?  I have not gotten my period, I did think I was going to since I had swollen breasts and tenderness in the hospital.

I had a follow up with the surgeon today who just said my body was adjusting to a lot and these things happen but gave no explanatin even when I kept asking if it was hormonal.  I have lost 20 lbs in the last 3 weeks- 10lbs on the pre-op diet and 10 lbs since surgery.

Hi Alice
First and for most CONGRATS, with your surgery and your weight loss all ready!! amazing work lady!!

When i was in the hospital the first 3 days i actually needed a fan my mom had to go and buy a fan for me, and my room was as cold and the hospital could get it....but since then iv been freezing i belive its just our bodys in adjusting to all the changes its a pain in the but, and i hope it gets better....and if the surgeon was not worried...i wouldn't be to worried about it............try and keep yourself cool, use ice packs, take a cool shower..........but just remember to keep sipping your water ...sip sip sip

sorry its not much help!!

I didn't experience this, but there was a recent post on the VSG forum from a lady experiencing this a few weeks out of surgery. The responses indicated that this is normal, even of non-cysters. I think our bodies have a mind of their own right now and we are just along for the ride!

Well I am still a preop but I get nightsweats now and they are miserable.  My hubby is understanding of the throwing of the covers by now though.

Fans, Ice and walking on tile floor for the coolness.  Hope it gets better for you!

Thanks ladies
