after gastric sleeve i have felt cold after surgery even when taking a warm shower...is this a common occurence...

I have felt the same way! Today is out of the normal with cooler temps but I noticed I'm cold as well.

My husband has always been the cold one and I have always been too hot. Before surgery I had to set the thermostat to 68 in order to sleep. You wouldn't believe the arguments in the car over the air conditioning! Now I am happy with thermostat at 78 and HE is the one turning the air on in the car! I carry a sweater with me everywhere, as I never know when I will start feeling chilly. There is a reason arctic seals have a lot of blubber! Once we lose our "insulation" the world is a different place.

Yes it sure is and the first time you sit on an unpadded chair-- you will see what I mean, You will swear your pelvic bones are going to extrude out your skin, because it feels like you have lost the last bit of gluteal fat. I am amazed daily what bone I will feel just below my skin surface, Tomkitten says I like to stroke my clavicle, maybe so, it had been many years,. they went "undervover with either the1st or secobd Great Weight Gain. And I stroke. it just to say "Great to see and feel you once again!"
