Could this be a new wierd side effect?



Recommended Posts

I just had surgery on 6/15 and arrived home yesterday. I noticed immediately that I was cold all the time because I was always hot before. I just raised the temp on my AC to 74 and keep going out on the porch to get warm. I can't attribute it to weight loss because I just had the surgery 4 days ago.

That is a very common side-effect of surgery and most of what I have read from others tells me that a lot of people experience this. I did as well to the point of wearing socks to bed and sweaters in the daytime and I never used to do that. I think it wanes after awhile but I do notice that I get much chillier very quickly now. Rapid weight-loss will do that to you.

I keep getting really hot and then really cold and then really hot, back and forth. Mostly cold though, because I can tolerate being cold longer than I can being hot. My bedsheets are tied in knots from me flipping them of and on all night, yeesh!

Yes, I used to sweat even in 60 degree weather and I live in L.A. and it has been over 70. I am not hot! I was freezing one morning and had to stay under the covers. I get cold so easily. so it doesn't seem weird that you are, don't worry.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
