Have u been to a dr for blood work? A FULL blood panel-sugars- etc...! If not I'd go!

I did and my B12 was very very high!

It's a sign something could be going on -

Is it Every Time u eat? Does it depend on what u eat?

I do it sometimes w bread/sweets/carbs-- I'm not diabetic but it still can affect u- I call if my carb high and it makes me feel yucky! Could be a digestive issue also!

It has been 2 months since blood work, I am borderline diabetic and was low in Vitamin A. I took the mega doses of Vitamin A and now am on maintenance. I am going to call my GP today, thanks

How have you bee doing Evolving? There are so many threads and posts I've missed out on. I do not have time. Today, since I was off the weekend I have time for a short while while making lunch. (;

Are you taking niacin? (a B vitamin). Sometimes that can cause flushing. Also, you might want to see if your doc can rule out a hormonal influence, such as perimenopause, which can start in your 40s and unfortunately can last a while. Hope you get some answers and it's something easy to treat!

I was thinking I may be going through menopause...I was checked a few years ago, but was not. I don't get a regular cycle because I had an endometrial ablation done almost 2 years ago. I haven't had a period for about 8 months now....maybe....

That's exciting (: finishing school...and the hard part now finding a job. Good luck in your search. And same with size for me...I can't wait to shop in a "normal" size store.

Good luck with everything

Dr said I have vasovagal syncope. He thinks because I still have a large lower stomach that hangs and sits on my upper legs when I sit. It compresses the veins to my legs and causes pooling of blood in my legs. When I stand up the blood pumps to my legs and not to my head. This also happens after I eat, it goes to my stomach instead of my head.

He is also doing blood work to make sure there is nothing else causing it. So now I have another reason to get this weight off!!! We discussed having a panniculectomy- removal of my hanging stomach. He said it will be more successful when I get below 200 pounds...so there is another goal!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
