    I lost a lot of weight previously and my hands and feet were always freezing even in summer, but once my weight loss slowed down (after 1 year) it got better.

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.
