Just wondered if this was normal. I am 3 days post op and am feeling hot and sweating like a pig. My house is 78 degrees. I have walked some this morning but now am resting. Is this part of the body getting rid of the anesthetic and I/V fluids or is it something I should be concerned about?

That was me after surgery!! I was so hot and would get like flashes. I would be fine and then just pouring with sweat and then fine and then sweaty again.

It lasted for like a week or so. I think it is the anastetic coming out.

Yes that is what it is like, Hot Flashes! They started yesterday and have continued all day today. I have managed to get 60g of protein in and 40 oz of fluid. A little low on the fluid but the day isn't over.

I have been freezing cold. Couldn't get warm last night..... I figure it is hormonal as well as anesthesia....

I'm getting night sweats. I wake up drenched! My husband just had kidney surgery and he's going through the same thing....I think it's the anesthetic as well!

Its hormones and your body is in shock. I'm having hot flashes still and this is my 2nd week. I'm only 33 too. I hope this goes away soon.
