Hi Everyone, Just curious to hear from those that are 3+YEARS (not months) post op with Cold intolerance Where do you live? Are you sedentary most days? Are you still experiencing cold intolerance (do you feel cold year round) I read that the reason people are cold is due to the surgical removal of the fundus of the stomach. The fundus is where grehlin is made. Grehlin is the hunger hormone AND it modulates body temperature. Grehlin is manufactured in many parts of the body with the stomach being the largest.

Hi I'm pre-op, most of my requirements are met. Haven't had my initial meeting with surgeon though. I live in upstate N.Y. And would love to connect with a veteran of RNY.

HI, I've been reading a lot of information about post op vitamins. They need to be either liquid or chewable. Where do you buy said vitamins? Are children's chewables ok? or are there adult chewables? What are some brands to look for or can I just buy them on Puritan vitamins or some other online store?
