sherrypep 91 Posted January 7, 2012 I was banded on 12/21. Everything went great. Almost no pain, lost 15 pounds already, and was allowed to start mushies on day 10 as tolerated. The only thing is that I am always cold. I have never had this problem before. I got into bed with a heated mattress pad on 8 and was shivering. Has anyone else had this problem? My husband said it could be lack of Iron but I never heard such a thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VIDALIABANDSTER 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Congrats on your band, I was banded on 12/20/2011 and before I was banded i was cold but it seems now I am more cold. I have a small heater plus the house heater on in my office at my legs just to keep warm. I also heard if your Iron is low you can be more cold. . http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/anemia.html here is a site I found with information about iron.

elcee 3,341 Posted January 7, 2012 Yep i am always cold too. Well other than on days where it hits 40decC. Not having all the excess fat to keep you warm makes a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twi 40 Posted January 7, 2012 Ok I'm a freak. Lol I'm hot. I did have heat pad first few days but now I have fan and air cond. Running all the time. Banded Dec 22 and then I had foot surgery on Dec 30 not sure if this is why I'm opposite. I have jot had an appetite and have to make sure I eat. Would love for this to cont. But maybe because of pain Meds. I guess the Meds could be reason for temp. Differences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twinkles 7 Posted January 7, 2012 I am ALWAYS cold. My husband thinks I'm crazy, lol. My hands and feet especially. Nothing helps, I run daily, about 3-5 miles, yep, still cold. Layers, layers, layers, I keep a jacket or sweatshirt everywhere. At work, in each car, all over the place, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
