Freezing after about 3.5 months post vertical sleeve

[Veda 12]

I am pre-op, but I used to freeze from the inside out. I would be the one at the beach all covered up - cold when it's 80 outside. I would drink hot liquids all day and take up to 3 HOT baths just to keep warm. Once I had my hyterectomy, that totally went away. This is why I wonder if being so cold after getting sleeved can be caused by a change in hormones, especially since the part of the stomach removed produces hormones. Just a thought...

Same here! I'm just a little less than 2 weeks post-op and already getting cold. I used to always be the one that was hot in a room, now my nose, fingers and toes seems to be cold all the time.

I'm on Iron tabs too and still freeze. 2 blankets, a quilt and an afghan on the bed along with a heated mattress pad. I now sleep with underpants, undershirt and socks most of the time as well. A sweater is my uniform at work now almost everyday.

I posed a possible reason as to why here: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/27063-is-getting-cold-after-weight-loss-result-of-more-blood-vessels/page__fromsearch__1

If this IS true then there is nothing we can do until and IF the body readjusts the blood vessels.

Oh the irony! It is my lunch time and I (as usual) came here to read as much as possible. I have my personal heater on high and am wearing a sweater and a blanket. Others in the room are in short sleeves. I have not (knocking on wood profusely) started losing my hair yet.
