Thats funny. I was never cold before the surgery. I was always hot. Turning down the heat and wearing shorts and t-shirt inside in the winter. After surgery, I am always freezing. My hands and feet are like ice. I wonder if it is because we are not eating any calories?

Cartman....hmmmm, South Park fan?

Since surgery (10/25/12) I'm freezing all the time! My family is convinced the surgeon broke their Southern belle when they see me dressed in my turtleneck, flannel pajama bottoms, and wool hunting socks with a cap on my head PLUS a fleece caftan thingy draped around me. I also sleep with an electric blanket beneath my heavy down comforter now as I curl up next to my extra large heating pad. Yeah, this girl is going to start looking for somewhere warm to live!! ;)

Oh my goodness! I thought I'm going crazy, I am always so cold! Since surgery I have been wearing pajamas all day, and sweater on top. For work, Long sleeves underneath my scrubs! Heck I am always freezing! My husband thinks im making it up, good to know I'm not alone!

Yeah, same here. I did a very low calorie diet last year, before being sleeved, and had the same problem. I take hot showers to warm up. Sometimes up to 3 a day. I live in Alaska, and usually I am in flip flops and tee shirts all winter long... I still do that, but I blast my kids out of the car with the heater! :) Drives them nuts! I'm always turning the heat up in the house too... just have to get used to wearing my thick fluffy robe and slippers. It will be worth it if the weight stays off this time! Put up with it for months on HCG, lost 60 lbs, and gained it all back and then some within 6 months... NOT THIS TIIME!!

Went out to shovel snow from the blizzard (first time since surgery) and my fingertips hurt so bad after 20 minutes that I had to come in. Could barely clench to grab the shovel. Have never experienced that. Craziness.

I'm only 5 days post op but I have been freezing too! Already I've lost 18 pounds due to not being able to swallow good without pain and the first few days I had severe nausea. But I can't seem to get warm either!

I was looking forward to being cold after surgery but it seems I am one who is forever to be hot!! My cousin says it will happen but I am doubting it ever will

It gets better. For me, I stopped getting so cold after 6-7 months. Not sure why, but perhaps it is my brain getting used to the smaller me.

I was really cold too for several months after my surgery. It seems that my body has regulated itself somewhat. (Although it is summer where I live right now so we will see how it goes when winter comes along) Stay warm!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
