For a few weeks now I have been having the shakes in my hands and arms. I told my PCP and he said he didn't think it was anything but to go see a neurologist. I asked the NUT and she said check your blood sugar, which I did and is normal. I then asked my Psych about meds since I have lost weight maybe it had something to do with it and he said no. My next step is to ask my chiropractor. It doesn't happen all the time. It feels like I have had a huge jolt of caffeine but haven't. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe dehydration?

How old are you? Also, make the doctors dig deeper.

When was your WLS? Have you had the shakes before or until after??

I'd like to learn what the doctor's tell you is causing it? Have they done lab work to check your everything's low on a Vitamin?

Where you a diabetic or hypoglecmic before?

I just had my WLS sleeve 1wk ago, I called my surgery doctors office this morning to ask or get suggestions to help me. I've been waking up feeling shaky and light headed.

I shouldn't be dehydrated because I'm drinking all my Proteins, drinking 100z of fluids daily, blood sugar are good too.

I'm not sure if I'm still hypoglecmic or not or diabetic type 2 anymore but plan to see my pcp next week.

This shaky things feels horrible, I'm able to cope with it because I'm home recovering but worry about what if this horrible shakes comes on while driving.

Hope you feel better and get results soon, pls keep us posted, it's so important to share our journey. Feel better.

My WLS was 9/25/13. I have been type 2 before. I have been testing my blood sugar and it's fine. My pcp and shrink have verified not any meds I'm on. NUT says not dehydrated and isn't anything I'm eating. So I took notes and went to my chiropractor and it turned out to be my neck was out and I was having Migraines. I normally get the really painful ones but these were different. So far so good. I really hope that you feel better. It could be that your body is just getting used to the trauma that it went through. Let me know how it goes.

I'm glad to hear your mystery is resolved, good to know so you can address it.

Well my doctor asked me to go to the lab for some blood work, so I did. Hopefully I hear back from them this wknd. I was so weak to drive myself, I had to ask my mom to drive me, today I couldn't get my walking done. Hopefully tmrw is a better day.

Thank you for sharing and hope you don't get the shakes anymore. Take good care.

I get migraines from aspartame. If you're drinking a lot of crystal light or eating other "sugar free" things you might check the food content and see if that is what it is.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
