Are you COLD?

Usually i am "the hot one" and i do not mean looks -wise!! After my surgery 12/10/13, I have been FREEZING! I am typing this w/ gloves on! My surgeon said this was normal. Anyone else? Also, after many nights of going to bed w/ flannels, a hat and gloves, six blankets ( such a gorgeous site when you add in my C-Pap), my sister told me about something that has made me soooo happy! I am now the proud owner of a heated mattress pad! OMGAWD - what a difference! Run to the store now and get one if you too are cold!

Same here! I have the heat on 72 and a portable heater blowing on me and I'm still cold. I was also the hot one, sweating in December. I sit in my recliner now with a big blanket pulled up to my chin. I used to sleep with just a sheet in all the months but January and February...I have now rounded up every extra blankie in the house and I'm sleeping under them. I can barely move from their weight....LOL. From the other replies this sounds pretty normal. I'm sure the lizard-women I work with will be happy not hear me say "dang, it is HOT IN HERE". :-)

I'm killing the hubs because I'm always cold and he is sweating but he has been a champ and left the fans off and heat up. Has anyone else had trouble sleeping? I sleep 4 hours tossing and turning the whole time and then can't get back to sleep. Anyone have the same issue? Before surgery I could sleep 10-12 hours at night!! I'm 7 days post op.

I've had no trouble sleeping but very cold all the time!

I am very cold as well.....but I live in MN and its currently -10*....don't know if that has anything to do with it. :P

sleeved 12/19...cold all the time..... I am normaly very hot natured so if this contimues in the summer (I am in Texas) then I will love it.

Totally agree I'm in Houston Texas so it would be lovely to feel somewhat cool in the summer.

I too am colder than i ever was, but for me its wearing off just a little at almost a year out.

I had my sleeve done on 12/3/13 and I am always freezinggg. I use to always be hot all the time and now I stay bundle up with a heater in room!

I am the guy who always turned the heat down. Or was asking my wife if she moved the thermostat? Since my sleeve surgery on 12/23 I am the one who is freezing! Seems the tables have turned.

Sleeved Dec 2nd and cold most of the time also.

I live in the north where we have a beautiful blanket of snow covering the ground. Last night while waiting to ring in the new year at home with the family, I was wearing sweat pants, a long sleeve t-shirt, sweatshirt, socks and fleece slippers. I even covered up with a blanket for good measure.

I may have to become a snowbird at the ripe old age of 43!

Happy new year everyone!

I had my sleeve 12/23 and ever since then im always cold. I go to sleep fully dressed. All this is new because i have always been the one running hot. So i feel you on this subject

Hot Flash Woman is Cold Woman now. I thought the hot flashes would never end - it's been 12 years. I will count this phenomenon as a perk. Today I am toddling around the house in flannel pajamas which I had bought years ago but could never wear. I even had an extra blanket on my side of the bed last night. Last winter I slept with a window cracked open.
