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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
