scaredoftheunknown 95 Posted September 17, 2012 I had my surgery on Sept. 13 th. And ever since then I've been so cold. Has this happened to anyone, and why might it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slojo 150 Posted September 17, 2012 Same here. I'm normally hot all the time but not since surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NDN_RN 527 Posted September 17, 2012 Sometimes right after anesthesia you get really cold, which is why they have all the warming blankets. Your metabolism may be slowing to a halt temporarily, until you get your calories in. That might be why you are cold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livinglifeout 217 Posted September 17, 2012 Welcome to my world! I used to be the one overheating all the time, now I'm using a heavy blanket while watching tv, while the hubby is in shorts and t-shirt and says the house is warm. Well I don't know what is causing this but I guess it is better than seating:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaredoftheunknown 95 Posted September 17, 2012 I just got home from the hospital last night. I did lose a lot of blood while in surgery. I probably will ask the dr. When they call me today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NDN_RN 527 Posted September 17, 2012 We have cold winters in new england. I was hoping to stay immune to the cold. My poor family walls around in parkas indoors to save on heating amd iI happily warm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bestmomtr 0 Posted September 17, 2012 Same with me. I was having hot flashes before then saw cold. Not bad since during the summer it was great. Still after 7 months, I still am not sweating unless I work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
getnsknyntx 11 Posted September 17, 2012 I haven't had my surgery yet but at the seminar I attended they said if your hot natured you'll be cold natured and if you cold natured you'll be even colder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
