rny4me 0 Posted January 29, 2013 I too am freezing! No matter what the temp is outside. Just like you i sleep with several blankets and the heater on. My feet and hands are always cold. I think my family would like to strangle me over my new obsession with the thermostat. Prior to surgery i was always hot and had the AC on and only slept with a sheet and no blankets. I don't understand it at all but don't worry your not alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm2872 635 Posted January 29, 2013 I am still hot most of the time but I always have been. But one thing I have noticed is that once I get cold I can't get warm no matter what I do. So strange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solveig Larsen 14 Posted January 29, 2013 I am 4 mnd postop and I am cold too! Have to use lots of blankets in bed to be able to sleep, have been like this from day 1 after gb. My doc said this is very common for us. Warm hug! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katiemay0101 26 Posted January 29, 2013 It comes and goes with me. 1 day I am freezing and sitting with gloves on at my desk (my co-workers think I'm crazy) and the next day I am sucking down popsickles like its the 4th of July. Guess it takes a while for our internal thermostats to even out. 1 Teka2011 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snow25 188 Posted January 30, 2013 Take an Iron supplement. It helps. I was wrapped up in blankets for the first week post op. adding Iron helped a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check with your doctor because your Iron might be low. I experienced the same symptoms and had some blood work done, and that's what my doc said was wrong. It helped big time!
