If you didn't change your eating habits, but are feeling nauseous and flushed, it could be something as simple as a virus. If you still feel bad after a couple of days, I'd call the doctor. Check your temperature too, just in case of fever. Hope you feel better soon!

Not knowing what type of WLS you had makes it difficult to guess what might be wrong. No offense meant to the previous poster but a "wait and see" attitude might turn out to be life-threatening. Please seek immediate medical attention.

I just went to the dr today for a 4 month checkup. He warned me about feeling like this...indicated that it is related to sugar and blood pressure. It doesn't sound like you're eating sugary stuff, but watch what you are eating...make sure to stay away from sugar as much as possible. Also, if you are taking meds for high blood pressure, it might be time for an adjustment. At any rate, I would call your dr and discuss it. Always better to be safe then sorry.
