Swings in temperature

[weightogo 2]

Hi all

I'm 9 days post op, and oh boy I am utterly freezing!

I am having the most insane temperature swings. I feel so cold that even the other day which was lovely 20 degrees C I was wearing a pile of clothing, covered up in bed shivering and had piled on 2 blankets.

I'm like this almost all of the time, I'm wearing thick clothing in bed at night and also a thick wool fleecy dressing gown.

Then occasionally I feel steaming hot, and throw all the bedding and clothes off. Only to be freezing again 10 minutes later.

My other half feels my skin and tells me I am red hot, and that the room is red hot too.

Anyone else experience this? Is it a post op/GA thing?

I don't feel unwell so I'm not sure I have a post op infection.

I am 5 days post-op and have been having the same thing. I wonder if it has something to do with hormones because it's just like what I went through with menopause. I hope it lets up because it drives me nuts!

I had my surgery over a year ago and I still suffer from being cold ALL the time! I wish I could tell you that it stopped for me but it never has.

I had the same problem, wild swings in temperature

I was told that fat has lots of estogen in it and we are losing our insulation so this happens dress in layers and mind did get better in time. Hang in there.:thumbup:
