I'm sitting here at my desk at work with my space heater blowing right on me. I have to sit under a blanket on the couch at home. It's especially bar after I've cooled down after working out. Then I feel like a popsicle!

My surgery was December 2013 - And i am still always cold. I have a heater under my desk, wear sweaters, and love it when it is 80 to 85 degrees outside. I love my new life, so it is okay for me to always be cold.

I keep my heat set at 74, have the fireplace and a space heater running and sleep in long johns under my jammies. My husband calls spring/winter/fall his "dry spell" because he isn't getting any. I am NOT taking off a stitch of clothing when I'm always freezing.

I thought I was the only one whose body temperature has dropped! Don't get me wrong :I'll take being cold over hot flashes any day!

For years since surgery, I have been particularly cold. My feet seem to be the coldest. I have used the hair dryer to heat up my feet and shoes at home in a pinch . I wear thick socks and shoes, but still need a heater or heating pad/blanket when I am idle. I too, will trade that for sweating way more pre surgery... But Arizona and Hawaii are looking pretty enticing right about now????????

I've noticed a tremendous difference since my surgery. I was always, always hot! I would have the window open in the wintertime. Not anymore... since my surgery I sleep in pants and a long sleeve night shirt. I am always cold!

Yes! Our A/C at the office is being repaired and its close to 30c in our building if you have a window office. Everyone around me is stripping down to the bare minimum of clothing acceptable at work where as I am just comfy in my long sleeves and dress pants. Love the sun streaming in through my window and with no a/c blowing on me I don't have to wear my heavy sweater. They all think I'm nuts????

A few months ago this question was asked about being cold & there was a posting from someone that eating considerably less carbs is the reason for this. Carbs help heat your body. I think this must be true because I have noticed that when I'm keeping my carbs down under 60g I'm colder. Has anyone else heard this?

Post op with my surgery being 11-4-14 I can advise yes I am always freeZing. It's April and I constantly wear my long sleeve sweaters to work because I know everyone else will be asking to crank up the as while I'm reaching for my jacket. In all reality I'm getting 100lbs down from this time last year so I figure by fall of 2015 and winter I'll be bundled up 24/7. :)

I feel the same always cold. I wonder if it was because some of the weight is coming off and the Fluid intake. I'm just happy it's not the hot flashes that drove me crazy!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
