hands freezing

I did do a search for cold hands before I started a new topic, no luck. I am almost 9 months post op and I thought my cold hands were done with but the last few weeks they have been freezing.......anyone else????

I have always had cold hands and that did not change after surgery. I was told it had to do with my Iron counts always being a tad bit low. Hopefully this will change after surgery since I upped my iron count. Who knows.

My Iron was great

In fact a little high, my doc says the cold hands are normal but I would have thought it would have been better by now

Feet and hands are cold after surgery. Very strange.

I have never ever been a person that ever had cold hands or cold feet or was generally cold. I was always the one that was so hot. Had surgery July 8 I've lost 88 pounds and my hands and my feet are always freezing and I'm generally cold! Oh boy what a change for me.

Since losing weight,I am always cold. We are having an extra cold week here in canada with temperatures hitting -25celcius. I do security in a grocery store and last night I had on FIVE layers of tops. A long sleeve undershirt, my heavy work shirt, two hoodies and my work jacket. All this for working inside. Along with mittens and long johns under my pants. I was still cold. I hear it can take a couple of years for your body to readjust it's internal thermostat. I am 10 months post op.

I am always freezing now. I've had more hot baths in the last 3 months than I've had in the last 30 years! I have to wear socks, sweats, hoodie to bed along with our down comforter and extra blanket. My husband says he knows we live in Canada and it's cold and all but I'm dressing like we live in an igloo????
