HeilaimDMD Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hello all, I had sleeve surgery one week ago. Doing great except for chills.. I don't have a fever, but can't seem to break the chills - is this normal? I live in AZ, so its relatively warm outside..I've had them since the day after surgery - some days/nights are worse than offers.. Any advice - besides blankets? Thanks, Amy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella1980 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I had surgery in March and Live in WA state but I remember being so cold. I would sleep on the couch with blankets piled high. It doesn't get better I am still cold all the time here and there. I just chalk it up to all the lost padding/insulation. Also back to my old self. I have found taking my iron does help with this some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babygirl2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I am sitting here freezing. It is driving me crazy. I was always the one that was hot. Now my hands are always cold. I had surgery 12/9/13 so 12 days ago. Of course it is winter and in the 30's or colder at night. I read this is normal because we lose insulation, but since I have only lost 10 pounds since surgery, I would have to say it is the slowing metabolism. looks like I will be buying an electric blanket tomorrow, and some gloves that I can type with for work. of course this is worth it for the benefits. Diabetes under control since the day after surgery and 10 pounds gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyBlake Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I too have been cold since I had the surgery almost a month ago. I also am normally "hot blooded" and find this to be a tolerable side effect I am hoping that will get better. At times my goose bumps will have goosebumps. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guatemama05 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I had my surgery in June and I'm cold much more than I used to be. I was such a hottie and now I am a different kind of hottie! I've heard this happens with rapid weight loss, but I find being cold is such a new experience and better than being hot. I love that I can wear real winter clothes this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesMaui Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I never knew this could happen. I am always hot and live in So. Calif. I never wear a jacket or sleep with blankets. Being cold is a weird concept for me to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofy219 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I have been cold for the past 2.5 years because of Hypothyroidism so I didn't really notice a difference as the weight started coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
