I had surgery last friday 4/12. I have been feeling a little dizzy. On Tuesday my chest was hurting. I am still sore. (Some people I talked to was back to normal after 2 days). Anyone else have these experiences??

Honestly I get dizzy every time I am on liquids. If you are really worried you should call your doctor. Hope you feel better.

well it is major surgery and they cut you open and stuff so its gonna hurt...and if they did a hernia repair (as they did me) it hurts to take deep breaths......but it does get better as each day that passes..def agree with kathy about keeping your liquids up....sip and sip and sip some more.....but like hel, if you are dizzy or overly concerned, absolutely call your dr and let them know what is going on.....just hearing a nurse and or dr say (its gonna be okay) is a relief sometimes. hang in there.

Hmmm took me longer than a few days to feel normal again, more like a good month. I used to get the dizziness also and for a good three weeks it felt like an elephant sitting on my chest till ally swelling went down and I healed. All normal some heal quicker than others.

My hernia bothered me more the the band. My surgeon did both on the same day. Check with your doctor when in doubt. You' re still paying him for followups after surgery. Post op visits are usually covered for a time.

It took me more like 3 weeks to get halfway normal. Your body is healing from major surgery. It takes time.

Thanks everyone! Drinking more Water did help with dizziness . I have to just take it one day at a time.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
