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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
