I had my surgery on june 7th 2012 and this is my first winter after surgery. I started at 407 and I'm down to 289 and this winter I have been freezing! I never use to ever ware socks now I have to ware them 1 or even 5 lol when my toes get so cold that go numb. And at night I can't sleep with out a heated ele blanket...I'm just wondering if anyone else is haveing a issue like this.. ~trying to keep warm~ sara

I stay cold, I wear a sweater in my house, if i get the house warm enough to take my sweater off then my husband and daughter are sweating. My doctor said after my weight stablizes it shouldn't be as bad, but I am losing a lot of the fat that used to keep me insulated.

Hey Sara, I was sleeved July 24, 2012 and I'm down 59 lbs and I'm always cold. One of my coworkers had the surgery three months ago and she said she gets cold easily.

Yes. I'm cold all the time now since the surgery. Kinda weird I know I don't have as much body fat as I used to but I'm still colder than the skinner girls around me.

Yes since surgery Oct 8 I have about froze. I stay cold all the time now

I have the opposite. I live in a sub tropical climate in Queensland Australia and the heat in summer would take the wind out of my sails. Not this year

always, and i'm 3 + years out. Keep warm!

Oh good kinda felt. Like a freak of nature lol thanks everyone for replying...any better ideas to stay warm let mw know!

Had surgery Oct 17th an Im FREEZING all of the time!

I believe being cold all the time is also a sign of iron deficiency anemia. I'm going to set up an appt with my doctor to check my iron levels.

My surgery was June 18, 2012 and I'm down 103 lbs, but if I make it thru this winter without freezing to death it will be a freekin miracle! I was always the one sweating in the dead of winter but not anymore, my family is still saying they can't believe I want the heat on. Always dreaded summers in Mississippi, but not this year - HURRY UP SUMMER!!!

Yes I think when you lose weight your body's not use to it and you get cold. When we are heavier I think we never get cold lol

There is evidence that grhelin, or however it's spelled, is in part responsible for the regulatioin of body temperature. Well, we don't have nearly as much of that stuff as we used to have.

I was as hot as heck all the time pre-surgery. But I was immediately freezing to death after surgery, painfully so. I could not get warm, particularly in bed for some strange reason. I thought that would just be a price I had to pay. And it went on and on for months. I had to pile blankets high on my bed, and still I couldn't go to sleep I was so cold, for about the first two hours of the night.

Now, 10 months out, that is starting to level out some. I am still cold when I go to bed, but not nearly as much, and it subsides within a few minutes. Thank goodness.

Others may have different stories, but I think my cold issue is getting much better.

I was just wondering yesterday if it is related to an increased carb intake now that I'm at goal.

I had my sleeve 12/21 now that you mention it, I did notice my feet getting too cold, and didn't seem to warm up to quickly even with a blanket on them, I thought I was going crazy!

Lol BLB yes that was the first thing that happend to me ..feet got smaller (don't need wide shoes anymore) and froze!!! Then now losing 125 ish pounds my body is a popcicle and the cold of minnesota don't help me here...buy some warm sweaters for spring would be my advice (make sure there a size or 2 smaller the you are now if u buy them early!) I didn't know feet had fat and feet fat is the first to go!

I had my surgery on 12/26/12 and have also had a hard time regulating my temperature. I will be really cold and then really hot.... My husband told me that the surgery put me into early menopause. I am glad to know it is a normal response to the surgery.
