Does anyone else get light headed or get a head rush after bending over or squatting? My mom had the surgery too and said it took a couples of years before she felt like it was gone. Anyone else know?

I did and it ended up being anemia. It could also be your blood pressure.

Well i am 4 months out and down 120 lbs. My BP has been good enough to come off my meds. I never had it before the surgery but now it's all the time. Just really feels weird. I want to go back to firefighting but it scares me to think something might happen if i have to squat or bend over.

I get that all the time now when I get up too fast or bend over and swing up too quick. Never ever felt light headed as well before this surgery. My blood pressure has always been ok even before surgery so I know it's not that. I take Iron chewable just as a preventative measure because that has always been fine. I am 2 months out, it's just been happening for the past 3 weeks.

I am 8 weeks post op and I get it all the time. I tell myself " don't pass out don't pass out do t pass out" my head spins and I get light headed then the room kinda goes dark. It's kinda scary. When I go see the Dr I will mention it to her. Wish I knew for sure what its from.

I do it all the time. I am not anemic. I believe it is low blood sugar. I always had trouble keeping my sugars up pre surgery and now its even worse. I have noticed if I drink something sugary I don't do it as bad.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
