Bob Barnett 34 Posted October 2, 2013 I'm having surgery on Nov 13th. I'm 6' 290 lbs and burning up all the time! I sweat like crazy and it drives me nuts. Have any of you experienced relief from this when losing weight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted October 2, 2013 Oh yeah. As a matter of fact, about 6 months out, I started being cold all the time. And I'm not talking just cold, but so cold my wife wouldn't let me touch her. She was always on me before surgery to warm her up, but then ... That lasted about a year and now I am relatively balanced in the heat department. Sometimes a little cool, sometimes a little hot. I would like to consider myself "normal" now in that department. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leederz 49 Posted October 2, 2013 I was always hot and sweaty took me so long to cool off after entering buildings. That was before surgery. Now I'm as cold as a fridge. I always bring a jacket and my fingers are like icicles. My surgeon says it's quite normal I really thought I had anemia for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Barnett 34 Posted October 3, 2013 I will throw a huge party if this goes away. It's probably the number one stressor in my life right now. I wear a suit and when I walk into a business I can't be all sweaty and nasty. I actually try to plan meetings where it is cool. Crazy.. 1 aroundhky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FRED1977 186 Posted October 3, 2013 I'm having surgery on Nov 13th. I'm 6' 290 lbs and burning up all the time! I sweat like crazy and it drives me nuts. Have any of you experienced relief from this when losing weight? I have been the same pre op but now since loosing 70lbs life is much cooler. I used to hate Summer or just heat period I would be standing in my own pile of sweat and nothing was ever cold enough. Now I often freeze to death because I have lost my Water cooler stomach..... I was 316 Im down to 245 lbs in just 2 months. I hope you have the same results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardVST 20 Posted October 3, 2013 Same! Before I was so disgustingly sweaty - it was embarrassing. A few times I would break out in sweat, like at a wedding or party and I would be drenched all over. Almost immediately after surgery I have been really cold - even more than my wife. I am the one turning on the heater. I sleep with my electric blanket on - and I live in CA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll do anything to get over that feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aroundhky 1,174 Posted October 4, 2013 I was hot all the time as well pre-op but really didn't sweat much unless I exercised. Since the surgery, I'm a little cooler now, but I wouldn't say I'm cold all the time......wish I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have any of you experienced relief from this when losing weight? What you're gonna notice after losing some weight is that you feel colder in places you were once comfortable.

Chase30 114 Posted October 13, 2013 if you are hot then you are dehydrated and you need to drink more Water. it happens just after surgery as well. Drink more water, it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliekat55 157 Posted October 14, 2013 unfortunately I am not feeling colder. on the plus side i tolerate the heat much better and dont sweat as early or as much and cool down faster, but i still like a very cold office and home. My feet do feel colder but that is about it. HOpefully the window of opporutinity has not closed and it will come. My wife and i are about 6 degrees apart from our comfort zones and it woudl be nice to narrow that a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
