a little more info would be helpful. 

How far out are you?  What kind of tremors? When do they happen? What happens when you have them? How do they go away?

Surgery was March 2013; Essential Tremors; Tremors are always present so I am a fall risk; I use a walker;  Tremors do not go away;

Did you develop Essential Tremor wholly after surgery or was it present in some fashion pre-op and has worsened?

what about your diet? Do you eat lots of carbs? What is a days menu like for you? I am sure you have had brain scans,etc?

Do you get them when you haven't eaten for a while? Many post ops have rebound or regular hypoglycemia and get shaky when they need protein. Are you on any medications for depression or ADD as you can shake if the dosage is too high. As we lose our meds have to be adjusted based  on our absorbtion and weight. As your weight goes down you should have dosages of all meds rechecked, Let us know if there's more  to the tremors you experience. Not  enough information.

I have never heard or read of anyone developing essential tremors after GBP. From the research. I did,brief,for sure, it appears 50-% of the cases developed because of a genetic mutation. It is a brain disorder so I do t see how GBP could cause it. 

So sorry I wasn't any help.
