Hi, I am suffering from anxiety at the moment. I have had it my whole life but it has been controlled with meds for the past 9 years.

7 weeks ago I under went weight loss surgery and a day or two after I started having the anxiety tremors, can't eat, sleep etc

Just looking for like minded people to share this journey with.

Hi hon.

I'm so sorry that you are anxious. But congratulations on your upcoming weight loss. Many of my friends have had this surgery and it really changed their lives. It's hard at first, no solid foods, then easily going back to eating. But hang in there and please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Take care and Welcome to Neurotalk

Please keep us up to date on your situation. Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

You are not alone! I was recently diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and this has thrown me for a loop. I am very anxious (with tremors), forcing myself to eat, have had weight loss (which I cannot afford), trouble sleeping, and for the most part, feel unwell all the time. I am trying to cope with my new diagnosis and also terrible anxiety. I have found the website ** helpful. I am starting to use relaxation techniques and have started seeing a therapist. I have also had anxiety most of my life, waxes and wanes. But right now, not in a good place. I am trying to constantly remind myself that anxiety symptoms are just that - they can't hurt me, in and of themselves. But they definitely can cause REAL bodily symptoms and a lot of suffering! Hang in there, I am convinced it will get better with time!

I am new here also and suffer from anxiety and depression most of my life that is worse than ever now. But I also had gastric bypass surgery 18 years ago and may be able to give some different insight as well I am a nurse**Helping others always makes me feel better.
