Are you COLDER after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I was cold at first and then BAM - hot flashes hit (due to my age). My inner thermostat changed every 30 days for the last 2 months. As recommended by my gynecologist, I started taking Black Cohosh. That stuff works great! Now I'm just cold all the time. I think it's great, I can now wear cute sweaters and even layer for a cuter look.

KimDawn, I have the same problem. What is the dosage of Black Cohosh each day. Where can I buy it? Thanks in advance.

Chris, take 1 tablet twice a day with food. You can get it anywhere that sell B-12, biotene and other Vitamins (wal-mart, walgreens, etc). I haven't had a hot flash since. LOVE IT!!! OH and keep up the good work!

I'm freezing and I can't get warm. You lose blood during surgery and that is also part of it. I seriously cannot warm up and feel like I'm literally freezing to death.

4 months in, this has eased up some. It still happens, but not as much and not as harsh.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
