I was banded on 12/21. Everything went great. Almost no pain, lost 15 pounds already, and was allowed to start mushies on day 10 as tolerated. The only thing is that I am always cold. I have never had this problem before. I got into bed with a heated mattress pad on 8 and was shivering. Has anyone else had this problem? My husband said it could be lack of iron but I never heard such a thing.

Congrats on your band, I was banded on 12/20/2011 and before I was banded i was cold but it seems now I am more cold. I have a small heater plus the house heater on in my office at my legs just to keep warm. I also heard if your iron is low you can be more cold. . http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/anemia.html here is a site I found with information about iron. Good Luck

Pretty normal...get some exercise early in the day.

23 mo banded still cold. i just learned to layer.wendy

Yep i am always cold too. Well other than on days where it hits 40decC. Not having all the excess fat to keep you warm makes a big difference.

Ok I'm a freak. Lol I'm hot. I did have heat pad first few days but now I have fan and air cond. Running all the time. Banded Dec 22 and then I had foot surgery on Dec 30 not sure if this is why I'm opposite. I have jot had an appetite and have to make sure I eat. Would love for this to cont. But maybe because of pain Meds. I guess the Meds could be reason for temp. Differences.

I am ALWAYS cold. My husband thinks I'm crazy, lol.

My hands and feet especially. Nothing helps, I run daily, about 3-5 miles, yep, still cold. Layers, layers, layers, I keep a jacket or sweatshirt everywhere. At work, in each car, all over the place, lol.
