Hey everyone I'm 6 months post op and lately I've been getting really dizzy every time I stand up. Has anyone ever had this happen before or know what could be going on?

Try doing a search for this in the topic search. I know I've seen something similar to this posted a couple of times in the past. I seem to recall that one girl discovered it was a B vitamin shortage that was causing it.

Yes, happens to a few of us (or more that have not posted).

It could be low blood pressure and/or low resting heart rate. How are these numbers for you? It could also be an inner balance issue where your body is catching up to the loss of weight. Additionally, it might be related to Vitamin or mineral deficiencies. It might even be a sign of dehydration. There are so many potential causes. For me, I think it is low resting heart rate (44 BPM). At my month 9 follow up, the RN wanted me to get it checked out because it has been low for a few months.

Not being in the medical field, I hope one or more of these suggestions will help you. If you still are having trouble, you can always go talk to your PCP to figure out a next steps like labs to checks blood levels.

Are you making sure you're getting enough fluids and protein? How's your blood pressure?
