Question..has Anyone Experienced This?



Recommended Posts

Ok I am almost 6 months out. I was cheering at my daughter's soccer game and they won the championship game. I jump up, raise my arms above my head, scream, and begin to feel faint. I sat down immediately and got better. Anyone experience this? I haven't. I am afraid it's my heart..weakened maybe. I sure hope not. Anyway..I plan on going to my PCP to check on it. Anyone else experience this?

I'm about 10 weeks and get dizzy sometimes.

I'm sure you thought about enough hydration and consistent Vitamins?

I honestly hadn't thought about hydration status . That is probably it..I wasn't on my normal schedule. Thanks for the reminder!? I have been very consistent with my Vitamins

My surgeon said dizziness is either low blood pressure or not enough Protein. In my case it was low blood pressure.

Mine, too was blood pressure. I was happily taking off of one of my bp medications.

Ok, this will sound crazy but I have had a problem for years, when I raise my arms over my head I get extremely dizzy and/or feel faint. My pcp, nor my neurologist have figured out the problem. I just make sure that i don't hang curtains, etc anymore. I don't have any advice for you, just letting you know I have something similar that isn't sleeve related. Let me know if you figure it out!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
