I feel the same way. Can't seem to get warm. Wasn't like this before surgery. Guess the extra insulation helped!

I usually am. I don't know why but It's better than being hot and sweaty all the time. :P

I had that happen in the past when I lost a good chunk of weight. I've heard it called "extra insulation" as a joke, but um yup.. it definately changes things.

I read on another "cold" thread here on vst that grehlin has been linked to body temp regulation. Makes sense.

When I lost significant weight with the band I was constantly freezing, and I had a surgeon tell me that it happens when we drop a lot of weight because the body is trying to "slow down" and "conserve calories."

He never really explained it more than that, but I found this article a while back that says the same thing in different terms 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.
