Feeling of awful anxiety since surgery

I'm a week out from revision, sleeve to bypass due to reflux. I'm an emotional mess....every moment I want to cry for no reason. I don't know if some of my meds are not being absorbed correctly. But I can't take this..I'm normally pretty upbeat, but someone can look at me and I start to cry. Feel like I can't catch my breath, depressed, I'm going to call my family dr on Monday to see if my meds are they should be...but man I'm a mess...any suggestions?

This is quite common after major surgery and a general anaesthetic. You and your body have gone through a lot.

As the GA works it’s way out of your system things should improve. The other thing that helps is when you start seeing the weight drop off!

Dont worry about it too much, it is really normal. Just be gentle with yourself and don’t try to do too much

I'd say your rate of absorption by your meds is being affected by your bypass. Hopefully your doctor can help you through this...reach out to your friends and family don't try to hide your feelings. And this may sound a bit dramatic but if you feel overwhelmed you can probably find some sort of hotline to get help from...good luck--You CAN get through this and we're pulling for you!

I think that you should check in with your Dr. or Bariatric program, but a lot of changes are going on with you, a lot of people get emotional, your hormones are in an uproar.
