If u were taking blood pressure meds prior to surgery and after losing weight your BP is down. This might cause you to be dizzy

I had this happen & it was dehydration. I was drinking fluids but they were all caffeinated (iced tea, coffee, mio energy) which is not adequate, since caffeine is a diuretic. Once I started drinking things w/out caffeine I was fine again. I hope it is as simple as that in your case. Definitely ask your doctor about it.

I am 6 months as well...sleeve sisters! I get dizzy occasionally...so low blood sugar, dehydration, just down right not eating enough. For me, I have sinus trouble and that makes me very dizzy sometimes. I had no idea it was connected. Throwing that out there in case it makes sense for u.

This happened to me twice. The first time I was taken off my high blood pressure medication. Thw second time I was told I am not eating enough calories. I thought I was eating enough.

I get this sometimes if I get up too fast, I think for me its from the low Cal intake. When I was a teenager I use to do the starve yourself diet basically and I used to pass out and 1 time I passed out at work and it was so ebarrassing! and it can be dangerous! Watch yourself

      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.
