Go to the hospital right away. If you are feeling dizzy it probably means your blood pressure is low because of low fluids in the bloodstream (an IV would help this).

I'm not a post op patient (yet), but I went to the hospital last year for gastroenteritis--so a lot of throwing up and diarrhea--and could have died without the IV assistance.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING!!!

Crap really?! I was thinking I will sleep tonight as much as I can. I'm eating ice chips and if I still am sick in the morning I'd call my doctor. But I haven't seen him since I came back from Mexico. Kinda nervous what healthcare is gonna do.... They deny everything else;)

I had thyroid cancer 7 years ago and they won't pay for my blood work to make sure I'm still good... Now I come in with this... Crap! Let pray I feel better after some sleep..

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and last week felt drained. I couldn't keep much in and what little I could went right through me. I was weak and almost fainted a few times. I finally called my dr. They sent me to the ER for a work up. I was dehydrated and my potassium levels were low. This made my body ache as if I had the flu from the neck down. My head was clear except the dizziness i had. They pumped me full of liquids for 6hours between the saline and potassium. Go to the ER. Don't let it go for any longer. I hope you feel better soon.

In Dec 2013, I was 8 mo post op. I woke up Christmas morning very achy. I soaked in a hot bath for an hour. When I stood up, I felt dizzy for just a split second. When I came to, I was laying in a pool of blood outside of the tub. I had fainted, fallen forward, and struck the bathroom sink (across from the tub) face first. It broke my nose, bilateral sinuses, my upper jaw, knocked out my top three front teeth, skinned my gums, and the knob tore my lower lip in two. Dehydration after our surgery happens SO fast. If you're feeling dizzy at all, go see your doctor!!! $38,000 later, I still have for reconstructive surgeries to go!

I went in last night and got an IV at urgent care. They also gave me stuff to stop the barfing;) but still kicking it with the diarrhea, they want me to bring in a sample.... Yea I don't think so!!!

I did feel less foggy brain after the IV But still not feeling great. I think I have lost almost 9lbs in 3 days, after IV I gained 1 back...

So far today my headache isn't so bad! That's a good sign;) gonna try and eat the BRAT diet or something... We shall see ...

      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.

      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!!
