lookin, I'm being banded tomorrow and really feel for you. From what i'm hearing from a lot of people, once you can start eating real food, things start to look a lot better. If you still feel this way tomorrow, call your dr. I wish I was almost a week out like you. Hang in there and please keep us posted.

I am so glad I found this thread. I have been having panic attacks for about 3 weeks now, every day was another symptom. It started with being light headed then tingly then tired, weakness in my arms, then I thought it was MS then a Dr. told me no it wasn't. Then I started to tremble, I have been trembling for about 2 weeks now. I looked up Parkinson's and every other reason I could have for trembling. At first I thought it was because I was losing weight too fast so I went to several Dr.s and they did blood and urine tests and said I was dumping some sugar and Protein in my urine and it could cause me to tremble. So I believed him for about a day, but he didn't tell me how to stop it. SO I started eating the way I had before the band to "fix" things but it didn't help, it stressed me out more. One Dr. had given me Xanax to calm down and I thought he was nuts cause I was light headed! Well, I went back to ANOTHER Dr. and he said I had sinus issues and gave me some stuff and it really helped with being light headed, so now I am o.k. with that. Now I am just Trembly. I googled it and I have come to the conclusion that I have Generalized anxiety disorder. The Trembling gets worse when I am upset, stressed, scared, anxious, etc. When I am with friends I am o.k. I am still worried about it and I want an MRI to prove I am o.k., but I don't think they would do that. I have started to take the Xanax, but it makes me soooo tired and it only lasts a few hours. I go see my psychiatrist tomorrow to make sure it is just anxiety and nothing else. I am scared about going, but I need to know so he can put me on something that will stop the trembling. Sorry this is so long. I needed to get this off my chest and see if any one else had an experience like this!! I have literally seen 5 Dr.s to tell me I am o.k. but I still don't believe them!:coolgleamA::confused2:

Hey Lookin,

How are you today? I hope things are improving for you. Be sure you talk to your doctors about this and connect w/ some of your friends. Maybe even get your mind off of things and go see a movie.

I did read somewhere while doing my research that there is a very small percentage of people who experience this after surgery. Sometimes it is related to the "idea" that there is something foreign in their body. If this is the case I would suggest you go see a counsler or someone you can talk to.

Make sure you are taking your Vitamins - especially the Bcomplex - B Vitamins help with stress.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
