I had my surgery 11-27-2012 and every since I get cold flashes especially at night. Before Surgery I was hot all the time. Has anyone else experiance this or know what is from?

I have always run hot, night sweats and all but now I get chilled easily. Have to wear socks at home and am all bundled up. I havent lost a huge amount of weight (38 down from my highest of 242) but apparently its enough to make me stop sweating all the time. Now that I think about it, I havent even been sweating when getting ready in the morning. Yay!

I am 52 and was ALWAYS hot! Now, I am always bundled up under a throw or sweater... I guess some of the 48lbs of fat padding was keeping me warm!

I'm pre-op but thought I read somewhere that the loss of ghrelin produced by the part of the stomach removed can make you cold.

I used to wear shorts year round..I would Christmas shop in shorts! lol

Now I am freezing all the time. I am stting here at my desk with a heating pad on my lap! lol

Im sitting at my desk with a heater pointed at my face... I never warm up.. didnt have this issue before surgery...

I stopped having a sweating problem. Not even having my long hair down keeps me warm anymore whereas before it would make me so hot!

I'm freezing all the time now, in fact I'm sitting at my desk right now with a heater on!

i am always so hot and i sweat pretty easily. i'm praying i turn into one of those people who get cold easily!!!!!! it always seems to be the skinny minnies that it happens to!

My doctor told me I would be a lot colder after the surgery. I haven't found it to be true yet. I always have cold feet anyway.

FREEZING!!! right now covered up in big fluffy robe, slippers and blanket and still cold!!!

I wore shorts, sleeveless short night-gowns, now I wear long-sleeve pants and shirts, sometimes I get up and put sweatshirts on in bed. I hate socks, even in the winter, now I wear fuzzy socks and I wish there was a place I could get leg warmers. I have never ever been cold in my life, now I'm freezing constantly.

Other than that I feel great and look great, just need to get used to being cold and layering.

I freeze all the time and I used to be hot natured. I have the heat on 75 right now in my office, wearing wool socks, fuzzy lined sherpa boots, a sweater and an undershirt and my feet and hands are freezing. Same everyday. I sit here in a coat too most of the time. As soon as I get home today looking forward to thick pjs and multiple blankets in front of the fireplace .

Yes! I am always cold. especially my hands and feet. My feet would get cold easily before surgery but never my hands. Now I am always cold. I still sweat while exercising but not as much.

So glad to know I am not alone. I am always cold and hearing so many of you say your experiencing the same thing is comforting.

I'm a little over 16 months out from surgery. I started getting noticibly

cold maybe between the 3rd and 4th month post op. It became significant

and more noticible around the 6th month when I noticed that I got hot flashes

when I ate for a few minutes and then returned to feeling cold. I researched

to try to find out the answer and saw many posts of people feeling cold but

not anything medically informative of the hotflashes when eating except in

diabetes types of groups. My glucose levels are fine and I was not diabetic

nor pre diabetic before surgery. My doctor said he didn't know why I was getting

hot flashes when eating. So I just used the opportunity to warm up by eating

when I was too cold. The hot flash would feel like an energy explosion-

Almost like my metabolism was really geared up when I eat- it didn't matter

what kind of food I ate- high protein food would do it just as easily as drinking

decaf herbal tea with stevia. Water however never seemed to trigger it. I've adjusted

to wearing layers that I can take off or put on easily. I bought an electric

throw for those really cold nights and invested in lots of warm comfy socks, sweaters,

and scarves. Funny- I've never worn scarves or gloves or even coats - but now

I find I really appreciate keeping my neck and hands warm in the winter.
