Anyone passing out?!?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any issues with passing out? I had my sleeve done on 1/29/13 and the beginning of feb while on liquids I passed out 2 times, went 911 to ER the 1st time everything was normal except my blood pressure was wacky standing, sitting and lying down. I figured it was the lack of food but last week it happened again! I was out of the house and on the go for about 5 hours without anything to eat but just wanted to see if anyone had any issues with this??

Thanks!!

maybe your blood pressure is too low and you should have it checked. Are you getting in enough calories and liquids each day? I try to eat something every 3-4 hours and if I'm not eating, I'm definitely drinking.

Are you on any meds? I had an issue where I passed out once, well twice in a 5 minute period, and ended up in the ER and they ended up taking me off my blood pressure medicine because everything else was fine. I have had no further issues. The doc also reinforced how important fluids are so make sure you are keeping up with those.

How are things now? Any new episodes?

My surgeon is your surgeon's partner, Dr. Kaul.

Hope all is well.

      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.

      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! 😞
