Since having surgery , I am always cold. Has anyone else had this problem? Does it get better eventually?

Body fat has a lot of thermal insulation. As you lose the fat, you will become more sensitive to the cold. I use to drive in the winter snow with my windows down because I was too hot. Now I shiver even if the windows are up and the heater on high. It does not get better, just learn to compensate for the cold. I am 4 1/2 years post-op.

The individual that invented hand warmers should be given a medal. They really come in handy when I am shoveling snow in the winter.

Thank you for your response.
Living in Canada🇨🇦 does not help.
I will definitely invest in long John's!
I always ran warm but now I will have to layer.

I’m 3.5 months out. Always cold! My Hudson Bay wool blanket is the only thing that keeps me warm.

Cold intolerance could also be a symptom of anemia. Check with your doctor to make sure your Iron levels are OK.

Yes, you are right. I will discuss with my doctor.
