Had surgery January 13, and am 1 week out and I'm always cold! Lost 13 lbs so far down from 200 to 187 and I'm cold and a little weak. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago and I used to have hot flashes all the time, not anymore. Maybe lacking Vitamins?

Get used to it. It it common with WLS apparently. I am freezing ALL the time! Even the hot Texas summer was not an issue. I wear long underwear now all the time and sit under an electric throw all the time.

If this is the worst thing, I'll take it! I'm almost 11 months out and don't see things changing anytime soon!

I had my hysterectomy 4 yrs ago and was never cold til my bypass on the 9th,. I love being able to snuggle under my blanket!

BTW awesome weight loss.. I'm down 10lbs in 11 days

Oh forgot to tell you. I read a yr ago that when a person loses weight, their liver releases stored estrogen, that might be why

Yes agree with ajustice, it definitely comes with the territory. I used to always run warm and now I'm always cold! My husband jokes that it's because I "lost my padding"! For Christmas he bought me an electric blanket with dual controls - my side is on high every night, his side isn 't even plugged in! LOL

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
