I've had to use my sleep Machine app for my fan noise. Even with the fan pointed elsewhere I am freezing!!

After WLS I was always cold, layers of clothing and heated seat and steering wheel on in the car no summer, winter and fall ( umm its Canada eh!). Now I appear to be in menopause and wow would I love to be cold again...just sayin'

Yup hand, feet, legs all of that gets super cold easily now. I went from not minding fall/winter to now totally hating these seasons when they come around. And I'm a February baby too. I know what has helped me with my overall body temp has been to wear layers of clothing. I'm almost always in my compression clothes (pants and at least two compression tops). The tightness of the compression clothing helps with keep my body temps up so I don't feel "as cold" as I do without them on. I guess this is become the compression gear helps with blood circulation in those areas. And it also helps from the whole chaffing from the loose wobbly skin in certain areas too. For the hands I would look into mittens and/or gloves for now. But I work in front of a computer all day so mittens are a no go for me. But sometimes I do put my hands on my very warm computer tower every now and then to get them heated up when they feel like ice bricks.

Yep, me too... A warm cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa usually helps, plus a space heater. I used to tell my wife I could never retire down South because of the heat and humidity. Now it's the opposite, and I guess I can't retire North!

I'm just the opposite. The surgeon took me off all hormones, and shortly after the surgery I started having hot flashes. I'm dreading this summer coming.

      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.
