What is this sickness I have gotten after WLS?

Jul 01, 2009

 Okay I been meaning to find out what this is, if anyone else has gotten it..

Symptoms are in order, somewhat..
Mild Lightheadedness
Uncomfortableness
Hot Flash starts to develope and gets worse slowly, mild sweating all over...
Completely and totally drained, weak all over but mostly my arms.. hands alittle bit shakey if trying to hold something.
Can barely move because of the weakness in my arms, shortness of breath, still hot and sweating..

I usually, since I can feel it coming on before I am totally drained.. I go lay down in front of a fan in my mom's room till it passes.. and I will ask my mom to get me Sunny Delight with some fruit.. I find bananas really help for some odd reason.. Why bananas? It seems to make it go away very fast..

It's been happening everyday the past three days now though compared to it happening maybe once every 2 months.

It lasts anywhere from 5 or 10minutes to 30minutes..

I do not know what causes it.. I'll just be watching TV or on my computer and I feel it coming on.. Today it happened and I hadn't had any sugar, I hadn't even ate anything all day.. Other days I will have had food and it still happens. So I do not think it's to do with eating too much or not enough.
