Hello there! I was also banded on the 12th so I know exactly what you mean. My advice to you would be to make sure you are drinking enough Water because if you are not then you could be de-hydrated, which could be making you dizzy and lightheaded. Also, if you can, try and walk around as much as you can and definitely practice your breathing because I just found out last night after 7 hours in the ER that I picked up pneumonia. If you continue to feel lightheaded and dizzy, I'd suggest taking dramamamine, an over the counter drug for dizziness, lightheadness, and nausea. They come in orange flavored chewables and work well! Good luck to you and hang in there! :biggrin:

Hello there! I was just banded June 12th (4 days ago) and since then I have this terrible headache that will not go away. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience. I figured with all the painkillers I've been taking the headache should be gone, but it's not. Could it be from when they filled my stomach up with air? Or am I possibly dehydrated? Is this something I should call my doctor about? Any advice would be much appreciated. -Bella

hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm scheduled to be banded on June 12th. I feel like everything has gone so fast since my consultation on may 5th, but I couldn't be more excited and I feel so motivated! I have my pre-op appointment this thursday so I'm a bit nervous, especially about the anesthesia, but hopefully it will go well :-D Best of luck to all of my fellow jazzy junes!
