What happens with the blood when you loose too much too fast?

[Anonymous]

It never occurred to me as an issue but what happens to the persons' blood when they engage in a rapid weight loss.
Let's say you loose 30lbs in one month, that is a lot of body weight. The same blood will circulate and "feed" so to speak in much less space, when the fat cells go, so do some blood vessels right? the tinny ones. So when a person shrink by that much, can one get a hypertension or something?
Because in theory you have the same amount of blood to squeeze in the smaller body all of the sudden. I guess gradual weight loss is non issue in any case but fast one can in theory lead to some "oversupply" of blood? Maybe? Just wondering. It is probably stupid but hey, maybe someone knows something? I could not find anything solid on this.

I think the fat cells shrunk, not disappear. But that’s just a guess. And there usually isn’t too much blood going around inside fat. Imagine carving up a roast.

That’s why you inject insulin into the tummy fat, so you don’t hit nerves or blood vessels (doesn’t bleed).

I am so sorry. Hugs.

But his weight loss was due to the cancer not the other way around I suppose.

Oh, ok. So every single person losing 30 lbs in a month has pancreatic cancer?

I am sorry for your dad's situation, though.

Any of these is far more concerning than "extra blood".

Yes. Morbidly obese. Which means they are at risk of death due to their weight.

Unless you are morbidly obese you are not losing 30 lbs a month. It’s simply not possible.

Not a doctor, but I'll play: First, this is only happening with a person who is morbidly obese. So, chances are they were carrying more weight than the circulatory system could handle in the first place, so they likely were experiencing heart and blood pressure issues due to the excess weight. Losing it would alleviate those problems, bringing the body closer to a level that the organs can actually handle.

Consider also that at the time of delivery, a pregnant woman's blood volume has increased by 50%, and returns to normal during the postpartum period, not all due to blood loss in delivery. So the body is equipped to handle this rapid and dramatic change in weight and blood volume (though it can be dangerous for women with underlying cardiac problems).
