I was sleeved on 3rd February, I am doing really well and have only been sick once after eating tuna!. I was normally always hot and even in winter I could wear shorts and tshirts indoors. This is not the case now, indoors I have found hat I need to wear socks, long trousers and sometimes 2 tshirts. Whenever I go to bed the electric blanket can be on but my feet are still freezing cold. Please tell me that it's not just me and it gets better xx ????

I was sleeved on the 9th. I've been told the coldness is a side effect of surgery. Last night I had a heating blanket plus 2 more blankets.

I was sleeved on 2/4 but when I'm cold it's been like 0 degrees outside. Sometimes I have to climb into my bed to warm up but I also sleep in a summer gown all year and do get toast warm in my bed.

Perfectly normal after surgery. I live in Florida and I'm cold most of the time as well.

We also feel colder because of our new, slower metabolisms. And that's not something that will ever fully resolve.

This normal after surgery. The layers that use to keep us warm are gone. We must get use to it. I'll take a sweater over my old fat!!

      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!!
