Hot Then Cold Body Temp & PCOS?



Recommended Posts

This one is more geared towards women (unless men are privy to this topic). I had RNY on Tuesday but I noticed that my face and neck especially, get really warm but the rest of my body can feel cold. My temperature is normal but it feels like I have the chills or coming down with the flu (I’m not). Should I also mention I have PCOS...perhaps these are my hormones trying to adjust to this foreign object (pouch) in my body?

Also, I do have a bit of shortness of breath so I’m walking slower. And my doctors and nurses checked my lungs, they’re fine. And yes, I’ve been using my spirometer as directed. :) I also presume this is again, due to a foreign object in my body?

On a positive note, I have noticed my cycle has shortened drastically...I started Thursday but I’m coming to an end. Best of all, not a single cramp!!

Has anyone encountered any of the same symptoms? Thanks for your time.

I think wls messes with your hormones for a bit. Perhaps ask your doc. Hope it all improves soon for you [emoji846]




Thank you, I sure will.

What's the foreign body inside you?

Hormones. I’m the same, PCOS and post surgery my cheeks are always flushed. Just wait until you’re further post-op and the libido kicks in HIGH gear. I have a “glow” all day. Pink cheeks. It’s almost embarrassing. LOL. And it does not matter if the rest of me is freezing either!

Just now, niccib said:


The pouch.

I think maybe this is a semantics situation, but unless I'm missing something and you do actually have a donor "part" like my cadaver muscles that rebuilt part of my foobs, there is nothing foreign in your new gut anatomy. It's still YOUR stomach, so autologous. It's just a new arrangement/size of original equipment. I make that point not to be a jerk, but because someone new coming here might read this thread and think it's not your real anatomy.

I also think it helps psychologically to not look at your new anatomy as a foreign object in your body. Our immune systems are set up to reject foreign bodies in order to keep us alive. I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to set up a self-fulfilling prophecy on rejecting part of my own body. :blink::784_peace:

Certain times right after eating, I notice my face will flush for a while. I should write down what I consumed before having that happen and see if there is a pattern. So.. for you, it could be the same way..something you are consuming.

Or it could be hormones.

But, your pouch was fashioned out of your own stomach (unless your surgeon clearly said otherwise), so although it has to heal, there is no foreign body except your staples and suture material.

Thank you for your feedback. I believe it is my hormones trying to adjust, but I’m for sure asking my surgeon for a definitive answer, you know? I just thought it would have been a great place to interact with like-minded individuals who offered advice. (Of course I am not referring to you, you have been kind, thank you. :) )And yes, I understand how the pouch was developed but apparently the angry person who commented before you, decided to make him or herself feel better about themselves, by speaking from an angry place.

Oh and I just blocked them because who has time for negativity. :)

I'm sure Fluffy didn't mean to come across that way. She's actually very sweet and funny most of the time.

As for the flushing.. if it happens after taking your Vitamins it could be the niacin. But that should only happen for a couple hours.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
