It's amazing. I was always the big sweaty guy. Loved sweaters but couldn't wear them cause I was too hot. Now I'm all up on the eliptical in 2 long sleeve shirts barely sweating. I actually don't mind cause it's much easier to put more on.

Although im still hot flashing some, I notice I get cold easier than before WLS. What continues to be a HUGE help is wearing a warm fleece or quilted type vest, and wearing a loose cotton scarf around my neck, and a cute knitted beanie all the time. The vest keeps your core warm so the body heat can spread to your extremities. Since your neck and head are already warm ( scarf and beanie! ) , its hot flash time !!

I LOVE my electric blanket! Its been all my bed though the summer.
