Has anyone else experience cold shivers after being sleeved? Recently, I have been getting the cold shivers attack that go across my whole body. They usually last about thirty minutes and it feels like it starts around my stomach area. Once I throw-up I feel better. I am currently nothing by mouth so it is not anything I am eating or drinking.

If so, is there anything I can do to do stop the shivers?

I've been super cold since surgery on Monday, but I think it's bc ive dropped 17lbs and maybe the blood thinner that was given to me. I have been lucky and not thrown up at all since surgery. I hope you get go feeling better:-)

I had cold shivers for about a week after the surgery, I think it has to do with the meds and the fact that you are burning fat so fast! I still get them once in a while (4 weeks today) and it's when I loose weight

I was cold and sat wrapped up in a blanket and turned up the furnace for the first 2 months post op. I just could not seem to feel warm. This is caused by your body and the changes that are taking place. Mine has finally gone away but then the weather is also getting warmer so whatever the reason I am happy

I had the same teeth chattering and cold shivers for about a week after surgery. I have always been extremely hot (probably partly due to my weight) but the last few days I have had to turn the air conditioner up to 79 degrees and today in Walmart I was freezing. :ph34r:

I'm 14 months out and live in sweaters and my fleece jacket. Immediately post-op I think I was freezing due to metabolic changes induced by surgery, but now I think I'm cold because I've lost all my "insulation." My feet and hands are always freezing and the car heater is usually on high all the time.

Same here, 10 months out and cold most all the time. i'm hoping summer will be here soon.

I think being cold is something we just have to live with, not sure it's ever gonna go away.

My car heater is set to 80 all the time...hands still cold, rings slide around my fingers, bugs me...lol

Thank god for my hot flashes at times...lol every little bit of warmth helps....lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
