cold and clammy.

[Greensleeves]

I've read of post-bariatric surgery patients experiencing long-term coldness. Does anyone have experience with clamminess or cold sweat? I am 13 days post-op and experiencing considerable clamminess and cold sweat with activity. I am very concerned that being drenched in cold sweat will not pass. Would people kindly share their experience here?

That's a new one on me. How's your blood sugar?

 

[Greensleeves]

This is a good question. I am not pre-diabetic or diabetic. Last blood test they were not elevated. I am consuming roughly 80-90 grams of protein daily. It isn't entirely new, although greatly increased from an occasional light "dampness".

I did not have this issue. But I agree with Diane, check your blood sugar. That can be a sign that it's low. It's good that you're getting all your protein in. How's your water?
And you can, and should, always call your bariatric team with any issues you are having that are not the norm. A nurse will easily be able to decide if you need to come in for some blood work or whatever.

Thanks for the guidance and support. I will contact the team today.

I did not have this issue either, nor have I heard of it. I agree with Missy and Diane. Im glad you are checking with your doctor.

I am either freezing or nauseous and clamey. I'm 13 months post and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. As far as I know ow all medical things are fine. Never heard on my last blood results so I'm assuming that's good news.
