Dizzy

I am 6 days out. I am extremely dizzy. It comes and goes. I also break into a sweat couple times an hour. Any advise? I see my surgeon on Wednesday so I will ask him. I can't seem to get anything done cause I am so dizzy.

Maybe dehydration start hitting the fluids maybe add some juice half strength If it continues contact Dr. When I had dehydration I felt dizzy and also felt very nauseated. Good Luck hope you feel better soon.

If I was you I'd call the dr ASAP and notify him even if you are a lil dehydrated you shouldn't be having the sweating spells have you taken your heart rate ? If it's consistently above 100beats per minute that's a sign that there is either infection or a leak my coworker works the bariatric floor of my hospital and told me the things to watch for not to scare you but you should really let your dr know how you are feeling that's not normal !

It would be a really great ideal to call your surgeon's office and run it by them. In addition, force yourself to drink more fluids. Let us know how your doing. ;)

I was dizzy for the first few weeks whenever I would stand up. I came close to passing out a few times. My doctor told me

That this was very normal And nothing to worry about. The dizziness has finally passed!

I had the same thing. Especially the sweaty and dizzy in the AM. Mine was for sure dehydration. Just get your fluids up. Drink nonstop. Make a smoothie with ice in it. Also keep you water bottle in hand and force yourself to drink. Good luck.

I'm 3 mos post op & have experienced the same symptoms (light headed, dizzy, sweats). I've even had to lye down on the stairwell w/ shirt off until it passes. Never knew why I felt that way & would forget to tell my doctor during my visits. I has gotten a little better though.
