Temperature change post surgery?



Recommended Posts

For those who are post surgery status, do you notice that you are colder since getting closer to your goal weight?

After complaining of being hot year around, even inside in the AC, my dietitian says once I lose weight I will need to carry a sweater with me.

I hope this is a fact! I'm so tired of being hot!

Yes, I find myself colder at certain parts of the day but especially at night.

I'm praying for this effect as well. I am constantly overheated. I'd love to need a sweater everywhere.

I was cold all the time for the first 6 months or so.

Now I am probably pretty normal. I don't get warm as fast as I used to, and I am more susceptible to being cold, but I am not freezing all the time like I was when I was dropping weight really fast.

I'm not even close to my goal weight and I have already noticed a difference. I've lost about thirty pounds and find I get cold quicker. I have always been hot natured and once heated it takes me forever to get cool but it's better now

Thanks for the feedback. It looks as though I will be throwing a sweater in the backseat. YAHHHOOOO!!! :D

At first I think that comes from some mild hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and after I lost a good deal of weight I also feel (thankfully) cooler, and now I think it's because my body doesn't have as much insulating fat on it. Much easier in summertime now! :)

      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?
