Ok I had gallbladder surgery back when I was in high school in 2009 I was wondering has anyone who has had it started staying cold all the time after that because I freeze to death all the time.

Now that you mention it, I have been cold since then. I've always assumed it was because I cut back my fat intake and lost a fair amount of weight. Correlation isn't always causation.... But it stinks being cold all the time. I feel like a wimp since I grew up in a state that is practically the arctic!

I waited to long to have mine taken out. I had passed about 17 gallstones and finely one blocked the duct from my pancreas and caused an infection and almosted died. That was just weeks B4 the 2009 Ironman Triathlon World Championships. That was no good. Glad mine is out just stay away from greasey foods.

Cold intolerance can be a symptom of thyroid problems. Most doctors will only check a TSH and if it's in range, they say you're fine. You need to have a complete panel done for thyroid including TPO antibiodies.
