I'm 8 months out of surgery and down about 135 lbs. I've had 2 fainting spells in the past 2 days. Yesterday was smaller, today's was worse. Yesterday I just got really dizzy as I was walking and had to sit. I think I was just out for a second. Today, I was standing, got really dizzy and slumped over against a wall. I was able to tell my bf I need to sit and then I completely blacked out. He said I went completely white, lips and all. I was out for like a min and my arm was twitching. After coming to, I was pale, sweaty, and disoriented. Now I have a migraine.

I've never had issues with my blood pressure, actually had lower bp even at my highest weight. I always shocked the nurses... I had the stomach flu on Friday and still feel blah, so I haven't been eating or drinking enough. I have been drinking Powerade to keep my electrolytes up.

Has anyone had fainting spells, not related to bp meds?

I searched the site, but every thing about fainting spells seems to be related to bp meds... I have my annual physical next week, so I'll bring it up to my PCP then. I know this might have nothing to do with my sleeve, but I figured I'd ask since there are so many knowledgable people out there :-)

Thanks!!

I'm 4 1/2 years out and still get dizzy and faint.
