There are moments that I am freezing and then I am burning up. I think it's my hormones!

Can be a symptom of losing too much lean muscle mass. Newly post op can be after effects of anesthesia (up to about 8 weeks).

Try layering up, even when inside. Wear gloves when outside. These things will help you not be so cold during the first 6-12 months post op. Eventually, your body will catch up with the rapid weight loss and you will not be as cold. Until then, more hot apple cider and coffee!

I get chilled often also, I'm almost 5 months out now, and still get chilled to the bone, especially in the early evenings. Lucky for me, I live in AZ, so as it warms up all I'll have to do is go stand in the sun for a bit, but this winter, I've just been taking A LOT of long hot showers ;) I figure Water is cheaper than gas!

I had my 6 month checkup and blood work last week. I told my doctor about how cold my hands, feet, and nipples (hurting) were. He had a thyroid check done as well. It turns out that I am anemic again and my thyroid is fine. He disclosed to me that he is cold a lot, too. He has lost about 45 lbs and maintains a consistant weight now through diet and exercise, but he is still cold. He always wears a long sleeve shirt under his scrubs.

      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.
