Fainting Spells and seeing spots

Hydration. I drank one 20 oz G2 a day for months after surgery. I think I have to start it back up. Also you could be hypoglycemic and that can cause the same issues.

That's exactly what I was thinking !

I've almost blacked out twice. Once in when I was taking a hot shower (about one week post op). And once today while I was standing in the kitchen for a while making the infamous baked ricotta. It's pretty scary: tunnel vision, black spots, loud buzzing in ears, my limbs start to give out. I assume I am just dehydrated. I know I don't drink enough liquids. I sit down and in a couple minutes it goes away.

You have to drink your liquids!!!!!!!!

November 7, 2012 I ended up in hospital after doing a face plant and stopped breathing (woke up with leg cramps, bent over then passed out). Ambulance ride to ER and overnight stay later.. Diagnosis....dehydration AND low potassium. I had been taking Potassium twice a day for a year, post surgery. Apparently not absorbing it enough, I am now on liquid potassium daily and NEVER drink less than 96 oz of Water, generally with crystal light, lemon or plain. All is going well.

Please listen to your body, and if you have any doubts reach out to your doctor. I am so happy with my sleeve overall, hope you are too!

Take care.

YES!! This ha been happening to me a lot latley! So happy to read this thread and know I'm not alone! I almost passed out the other night at an exercise class. I had the whole black spots, everything got foggy and I couldn't hear out of one ear. I've also had a lot of dizziness and even when laying down last night I felt extremely dizzy until I fell asleep. I think I'm going to make an appointment to have myself checked out but if I get another bad spell I'm heading to the hospital. Very scary!

I agree with the blood pressure thing. Happens to me a lot when I stand up too fast.
