The Cons Of Gastric Sleeve Life! :-(

  • Popular Post

Okay... I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!! That outta the way I just want to complain a little bit. Some things about being sleeved really chap me. Why am I putting this in the pre-sleeve section? So everyone knows what to look forward to.

  • I'M FREEZING COLD ALL OF THE TIME!!! Even in Summer...
  • ...Um...

  • I'll take being cold to sweating all the time! Mind, with these hot flushes I am freezing one minute. boiling the next... repeat unti; I'm 60...lol

  • Taking off the fat suit makes us cold. I can live with that!

  • Coops - I hear you! I can't wait until I can stop dousing myself with baby powder to soak up some of the sweat. You can put on more clothes to get warm but cooling down when your heavy is no fun!

This is so much help... thank you all for posting... I'm a band to sleeve... scheduled for August 9.

Being cold isn't fun, but gives you a reason to snuggle, I call him my personal heater

That is not a con when you sweat like a ***** in church all summer long! I welcome being cold!

You can only take so much off to cool off, especially when your a cow, you can always put more on to get warmer. I would love to be cold over sweating hot all the time!

Been sleeved for nearly 6 months and haven't found a downside yet. Loving it.

Hey!

Thanks for the post! While I see how this could easily be a con because I have lived it. I have to say I hope I am cold all the time like my fit/skinny friends. Currently I am always hot and this is not fun! Our friends always want the heat turned up or to sit outside in the sun! Sorry, but being morbidly obese and sitting in the heat is just NOT fun! Rather miserable actually!

I'm sooooo looking forward to being cold! I don't ever get cold. Even in the dead of winter with 2 feet of snow outside I'm still sweating sadly. It will be SO nice not to sweat all my makeup off before I even make it to my destination! I can't wait for that!

Well Ladies... I have been like a heater all my life... (my hubby says, I'm still "hot", even if it does come in flashes)....but, this mid-life cycle... is the pits... and I think cold is good...

So, I am looking forward to it. Besides... who wouldn't love to wear those cute little tee-shirts with the layered look... a beautiful sweater... or even cotton sweater... Thinking about it brings on a hot flash!!! lololol
