They took out my "heater"!



Recommended Posts

I think they removed my heater during my surgery. I'm always cold now. I'm having no complications whatsoever, but I'm always cold.

Anyone else have this?

67! Wow. Lol. I'm cold with mine at 75 and I haven't even had surgery yet. I sure hope it doesn't get colder for me.

@Paul Bahr I've read many posts of people being cold after surgery as well. Seems to be the "normal " case for a select few.

Low Iron levels can make you cold or else an under active thyroid.

I was cold preop on the low fat, low carb diet. After surgery I'm on a moderate diet and haven't been cold as much.

I am cold all of the time now. And it it quite bizarre considering I have wanted to keep all thermostats on tundra settings for my entire life!!

Lol. It gets better. Im approaching 4 mos post op and my heater is finally starting to work better and i can stop wearing thermals. I too was freezing all day n night. To make matters worse my partner at work has menopause so she was always hot... just imagine 4 hrs in a car 5 days a week of that, lmbo. Omg was horrible.

LOL, my wife is premenopausal and is always hot! It's crazy though being cold - I always used to say is start sweating if I thought too hard.

So cold all the time! I texted a friend today "this is the first time in memory that I've said this: I'm cold." People catch colds in my apartment because I keep it so cold. Now I'm piled under blankets and still shivering. I was getting worried.

I was cold all the time. It stopped once my weight loss slowed to an average pace. Now that I am just losing a couple pounds here and there, I am no longer cold.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
