I am 3.5 months post surgery and overall I am doing well. I have lost 53 pounds so far. I am FREEZING most of the time. When I get cold, I feel cold from the inside of my body out. I go to bed shivering but as I sleep I become very warm. Do other people have this? When does it go away? It seemed to get really bad about a month ago when my hair started falling out. What do you do to stay warm? A warm shower is usually the only thing that will warm me up. Any thoughts?

I'm on iron and still find myself cold! lol I figure, if that's the worst thing I have to deal with in exchange for a new and healthy me...I'LL TAKE IT! :regular_smile:

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.
