Reduced urine output.

Nausea.

"Foamy" saliva in your mouth.

If you suspect you may be dehydrated, you should call your surgeon ASAP. Dehydration is a serious medical condition! I had no idea that I was severely dehydrated when I attended my last scheduled appointment with my surgeon. Instead of getting my first fill, he sent me to the ER directly from his office.

I had been drinking enough fluids, but I had apparently not replaced the fluids I lost during 3 days of being ill. I had been nauseous for 2 days. Thirst is apparently not always a symptom of one being dehydrated.

It's also important to ask your surgeon which doctors he works with in the different specialties. From this forum, and from my surgeon I am beginning to understand that there seem to be numerous medical professionals who do not know how to treat a patient who has the band. When I asked my surgeon if I could go to an ER closer to my home, he said definitely not, because the hospital where my surgery was done knew how to treat his patients, and all I needed was IV re-hydration with saline.

Hope you feel better soon!

o man,my surgeon is over 3 hours away,i feel so sick,light headed,very fatigued

Concentrate on getting your fluids up until you can see a dr. Also, your electrolytes. Here in Australia we have a frozen ice block product called Hydralite which was recommended to me by the ER when I had gastro a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes Water alone is not enough or can dilute your electrolyte levels.

Dehydration is dangerous and must be treated promptly.

sorry for a tmi but added to me feeling super sick i have diarrheoa,is that a symptom also?

If u are feeling dizzy and light plus the other symptoms you need to think possibly of going to ER to get IV fluids...if u can't drink a slushy or something like coconut water hydration

I've had to go twice to ER for dehydration when I was pregnant...dangerous in any state. Please call your local hospital
