HAVE U EVER EXPERIENCED..... feeling flushed, faintish, sweats, etc

[ursieursie 1]

I feel panic all the time, and always feel faintish, sweats, dizzy, flushed which scares me to death, and like my heart is racing, but my high blood pressure is under control. I did lose approx 150 lbs over a course of 12 yrs!!!!. I have been to every Dr in creation, and they say it's all due to the fact that I lost a lot of weight previously. I was not sleeved yet, but what Im wondering is....will I feel this way post op and will it be sooooooo bad where I cant get out of bed????? Im trying to actually sense what it will be like not eating in the beginning. I know in ONLY 3 days, being on liquids, im FREAKINGGGGGGGG OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep walking around saying omg im gonna pass out!!! What r the feelings

^{It sounds like you need to talk to your doctor about this.}

I felt like that when I went through menopause--in my 40s.

Whatever is causing you to feel these symptoms, you need to track it to its source!

Keep us posted. We really DO care,

Kinda sounds like panic attacks.

Might want to tell your dr.

Definitely sounds like anxiety is getting to you....hang in there. The best thing to do is to take lots of big, deep breaths and let them out suuuuper slowly. Do your best to stay calm...you can overcome the anxiety by forcing yourself to. Its tough, but you can do it. I do strongly suggest that you speak to a doctor soon, though. The other thing is....about the food and fearing being "only" on liquids....you will feel full after a few ounces, you won't feel deprived like we do now with our full-sized stomachs and "small" portions. Hang in there....I hope you feel better soon! And call your doctor!! ((( hugs )))

This is nothing new. I have been like this most of my years. I have been to all doctors, including psycotherapy which Iv'e been to for years for the weight also. The doctors say it's due to all the weight iv'e lost over the years. I was just wondering if anyone who has lost lots of weight, experience anything of the sort. I mean, I deal with it, but it's making me anxious now wondering if it will get worse afterwards. Thanks for responding

Please talk to your surgeon about this before surgery so you can prepare yourself right after surgery. I am a strong believer in calming yourself and relaxing after the surgery (any surgery, even being in labor), is key to recovery. If you are able to calm yourself, relax and breathe your body will be able to do what it needs to do after the surgery!
