I’m so glad I found this post, I thought I was going mad. I’m always freezing now. I also bruise like a peach and that never happened before either.

I am 4 weeks post-op. Bought an electric throw for the living room. I have a heater going under my desk at work all day. And a heated mattress pad on my bed. Sometimes I get on the treadmill and walk just to warm up. LOL
I can't wait for summer!!!

I, too, seem to be cold all the time now, where in the past I would be sweating. I look at it as a good thing in that we are losing the fat that used to keep us warm. I also use heating pads and such.

My mom says the same exact things. Thinking about getting her a heated blanket for Valentine’s Day:)

      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?
