Was sleeved on Monday. Ever since I find myself being kinda cold all the time. Is this normal? I'm usually sweating. Lol

I'm just about 2 years out and STILL freezing. It is something more profound then just the weight loss, i too like the OP was freezing when I came out of surgery.

I was the epitome of a fat sweaty guy pre-op, I was ALWAYS sweating, I would just SIT and sweat. Wore short sleeves year round and waited till the weather was in the 40's till I donned even a light jacket, NEVER wore a hat. Now I am cold when it drops below 70.

Years ago I saw my doc about the sweat issue, we tried a prescription that made me so thirsty all the time I could not drink enough. My throat actually got so dry once it stuck together like fly paper, I was gasping for air till I managed to drink a bit.

We also talked about surgery, seems that cutting the vagus nerve near the heart will cut back on excessive sweating but it is dangerous as you can have a heat stroke and not even realize you are hot so we elected to not do it. The very tail end of the vagus nerve terminates in the stomach and I suspect that some of it is cut during the VSG - perhaps this is a clue as to why many VSG'ers are so cold all the time. I rarely sweat much at all any more and when I do it's normal and not a drenching rolling sweat the way it used to be.

I am freezing all the time but I love it. Now I can wear all those cute heavy sweaters and scarves. And I went from sleeping in just a t-shirt to yoga pants t-shirt sweatshirt and socks.

Yup, me too! I've never been this cold in my entire life, My heating bills going to go through the roof this winter :-) I made two friends at my doctors office that I've been keeping in touch with VA email and they're having the same problem with being cold as well. I guess it's just something that happens, I'm not sure why but I know that we are not the only ones.

Me too! I always slept in barely anything and now I'm wearing a nightgown or big t shirt and my robe-sexy! I need full on old school flannel jammies for the first time in years for winter! I love being cold for a change! I had to buy some sweaters/knits because I didn't have anything heavier than a knit vest worn over long sleeve-T! (And I swore I wasn't going to buy any new clothes until I lost more weight, but I'm freezing and sweater dresses are so cute!) To me, this is a perk -I hated being the sweaty beast at every summer festivity and even indoors when the heat is over 68!! Now I can dress appropriately for the weather here in the northeast!

I have fuzzy socks I wear to bed now...yes, I too am always cold, but I was always cold before the surgery. However, I have noticed that when I go to the gym, I don't sweat much. Oh and I have nightly green tea or cider or hot chocolate.

I get cold too, never happened before. Thank goodness for now the hot flashes are over:).

Before surgery I had the thermostat set at 74 degrees and that was warm enough for me and I was actually hot but didn't want to freeze my kiddos. Now after surgery I have the temp set at 77 degrees and sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep because I'm cold. I was thinking about getting a heated blanket but I'm sure once my husband comes back home from school he will keep me warm

Yes I am colder also
