can someone plz tell me sum signs of dehydration?

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!

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.

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
