katiejo8907 19 Posted June 4, 2015 I was sleeved on August 20th 2014, and I freeze so easy. It can be 75 degrees outside and if there is a breeze, I'm freezing. Had anyone else had this issue? Does your body regulate itself? How long does it take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunkycharlie 26 Posted June 4, 2015 I haven't had mines done yet, but as a nurse I can tell you it sounds like an Iron deficiency, definitely tell your doc as he may suggest bumping up on your iron intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rona<3 2 Posted June 4, 2015 Im 7 weeks out and my hands and feet are always cold. Due to lower blood pressure which is directly affected from hydration, which we all experience no matter what, we will be cold the first months. . Than it will even it's self out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jb1176 79 Posted June 4, 2015 In the pre op diet and the first month post op I was cold much of the time. I would be bundled up in a blanket most evenings. After I started solid food the cold spells gradually went away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wannabeskinnie 59 Posted June 4, 2015 We were told in the pre op classes that it's very common...I know I am always cold...I always have a sweatshirt handy. I am 11 weeks out and it hadn't gotten any better, but like you I am hoping it will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jess55 97 Posted June 5, 2015 I had lap band surgery 4.5 years ago. I'm hoping to revise to the sleeve. But in the past I was always hot. Probably since I've lost weight, I won't even think about wearing shorts unless it's more than 75 out. I am cold a lot. I still am hot in the summer, but I'm definitely colder than I used to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller1109 116 Posted June 6, 2015 9 months post op. Freezing ALL the time. I believe this is my new life. An electric blanket on my bed, an electric throw on my chair a heater under my desk at work, all while my husband has the AC on. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katiejo8907 19 Posted June 10, 2015 Went to the doctor today. He said it's more than likely because I'm low on Iron. Blood work done, waiting on the results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
