I have been sick as hell all week!! The lightheaded feeling is the worst! Every time I open my eyes I want to die!! I've been sleeping constantly! I've had a headache and felt nauseous too!! Finally went to the urgent care Thursday, they ran tons of tests, but ultimately said I was dehydrated (even though I have been watching my fluid intake and I don't think dehydration should've been an issue) they gave me an iv and said I would be amazed at how much that helps... But it didn't help!!

I feel so miserable!! I just want to curl up in a ball and cry!! This lightheaded feeling makes it impossible to function! And it's not a once in a while feeling... It is a constant feeling!! And the headache and fatigue!

Could this be caused by something I am doing, eating, or not eating? Has anybody else had this? Could it be band related?

I just have to feel better!! Help!!

I have a daughter in Star, Id and her name is Jenn-ifer.

You don't provide a lot of help as far as stats are concerned? Where are you in the process? Pre or post op? You might want to fill out your profile so we can help you better. Otherwise we're just throwing mud at a wall and hoping something sticks?

Post surgery

Had surgery April 9th 2012

Had 2 fills so far and have 10cc in my 14cc band (got 2nd fill June 24th)

I am down 23 pounds since I decided to start this journey

Sounds like you must be post-op if you are questioning whether this could be band-related, but as 2muchfun says, you haven't provided us with any information to help. If it's bad enough that you have already been to urgent care once and you aren't any better, than you need to go back and get more medical help. Good luck.

i wonder... is your sugar level below what it should be?? try sucking some barley sugar and see what happens. i get light headed when i dont get enough carbs.. its a delicate balance . even gatorade may help you?? these ideas are just of the top of my head... worth a try??

Can you give us a typical day of what you eat?

...good idea.....

I'm almost 3 months postop, not at restriction, 3rd fill is next week. I've been feeling fatigued and some dizziness when standing for a few weeks now. My doc ordered every blood test out there and everything came back fine. I don't think my symptoms are as severe as yours but they are telling me to drink more water too. The quote I got was, "not enough water makes you feel like a wet dishrag". Agreed. Today I peed like every other hour and it's very pale (TMI sorry) whereas before this week I peed a few times a day and it was amber. Does this sound like you? I've never had hydration issues before, it's frustrating.

it sounds just like me. ive had problems with feeling dizzy... in fact it comes over me a lot. just for about five seconds and then it leaves. my b/p is fine... i take that regularly. i dont drink enough... thats something im learning to do, and sometimes still forget to. im sure im dehydrated as well. it sounds just like me.my output (urine) is the same as yours is.
