Hello, has anyone experienced feeling faint when getting up from a sitting position or from the bed? The last couple of weeks have been difficult for me, due to many leg cramps while sleeping and being consipated for many days. I do admit i dont drink enough water (only about 5 cups a day). My NUT also said in low in Iron and thamin. Any recommendation. A little background-Iam 33 years old. I was sleeved 8 months ago. I was 265 and now 151. I eat well and excercise 1 hour a day. I drink B12, multi vit, B1 , calcium and iron.

Are they doing anything for your deficiency? What are they suggesting? Low iron is not good and can very well be the problem. Whilevo was anemic, I became very very sick and would pass out. Don't fool around.. Ask your dr

I am only drinking what he recommended. I will set up an appointment. Thanks

I was like that for a few weeks. I was sleeved on 1/15, today I am feeling much better. It will get better.

How's your blood pressure?

You're not alone......I'm 33 and 6 weeks out...I've felt dizzy very often when standing quickly post-op....I even blacked out once. Fortunately, nothing was out of whack with my blood work....but do get checked out, we're all different.

Mine was a pretty classic sign of low blood pressure....which i never had or have a problem with. My providers and I concluded due to the abrupt fluid shifts post-op, quick weight loss, and my vasculature trying to play "catch up".....blood wasn't always getting to my head quick enough when standing up. It has gotten better, but I still get dizzy spells here and there. We're hopeful it will self resolve.

I will check my blood pressure today. Thanks
