An 2 weeks out and find I get dizzy with exertion. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Not sure if it is dehydration ( it's hard to get all the water in) or lack of calories ( I get about 600 a day)

Can I ask you a question? Did you have to go on liquid diet first?

I'm betting on dehydration. Especially if your dizziness occurs when you first stand up.

I was dizzy and such for a while and now it is slight. I had a B1 defeniciency. They had me do blood work before my second visit. I still having issues but it is better. I havr not been able to start exercising because of this. The other day I fell as a result. Now all I want to do is sleep. I am tired all the time.

Could be a B1 defeniciency

I had dizziness and lightheadedness also. I lost about 50 lbs 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after the surgery. My surgeon said it was almost certainly due to low blood pressure (it was low when I went in for my post surgery follow up). He sent me to my doc the next day and I had my BP medication reduced and I haven't had any dizziness since.

Get some G2 and mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with water and sip it until it is gone...If you start to feel better you were dehydrated..And it would be good if you did this on a daily basis to keep your electrolytes up. i am 14 months out and still drink G2 every day for this reason....K

I was dizzy for several weeks after the surgery..but it subsided as time went on. We had major surgery and our bodies need to heel . Check your blood pressure several times during the day. I usually got dizzy when I rose from a laying position. Also, I could hardly drink water for weeks after the surgery. That was also a factor,

Thank you everyone for the reply
