iloveorganicmilk1 10 Posted October 21, 2016 Hi, I didn't get my surgery yet, but i have some questions. Has any of you guys who have had the surgery experienced facial hot flashes after the surgery, if so, have they gone away, or lasted? This is really important to me, as Im getting really scared of the hot flashes that i've heard ppl experience Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AvaFern 3,516 Posted October 21, 2016 Brief hotflashes were part of dumping for me. I had them for about the first 6 months when I had anything with too much sugar or anything that had oil, heavy carbs, or milk. It's not a random thing, but for me was linked exclusively with the response to having eaten something I shouldn't have. I am 37 months post-op, and I rarely have this happen anymore. The other day I ate something I shouldn't have, a sugary Cereal, and I spent about 20 minutes feeling really hot, sweaty, and with my heart beating fast. It goes away quickly and eventually you either adapt and no longer have the issue or you learn to not eat things that cause it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rebcal 32 Posted October 21, 2016 Yes I've dealt with this. My face would get very red and I would get very hot and sweaty but I realized it was just from not drinking enough fluids and not eating enough so make sure you're sticking to the guidelines and stuff Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rolosmom7 740 Posted October 21, 2016 Hmm. I have anxiety and face/chest flushinh is a big tell for me. It's actually down down since surgery. Probably hormones going bat sh*t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jiti28 20 Posted October 22, 2016 I had hot flash where my face would burn including my eyes. It always happened after taking Tylenol #3. I had the pain medication changed and they disappeared. It was the most unpleasant feeling I have ever experienced. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
