Anyone get dizzy spells? I am 11 days post op and I have been having dizzy spells all day. I should call the surgeon or my doctor? It's Sunday so I'm not sure what to do.

I'm 23 days out and never had a dizzy spell. I would definitely call my surgeon if I did. Even on Sunday someone should be covering for him

Are you diabetic? .. Are you having any other symptoms?

Maybe call ask a nurse.. Tell them about the surgery and how you're feeling and see what thy suggest?

Are you getting all your fluids in? I get dizzy spells because of dehydration

Dizzy means you need more fluids. Drink Water.

I was dizzy for the first 2 weeks. Bring consistent with the vitamin patches helped and protein shakes

Thank you guys the doc said to drink more Water and go to my GP to get my blood pressure checked.

I had a lot of dizziness early on.

Talked with my clinic, and they took me off my BP pill immediately, encouraged me to drink as much Water as I could possibly tolerate. At one point I had to go in and get a couple units of IV saline. Made me feel SO much better.

Went away after a couple months.

Turned out to be a combination of dehydration and low BP.

Could be low blood pressure after losing weight. Are you on or still taking any blood pressure meds? Are you dizzy after standing up?

after surgery I was still on my diaretics for BP, also lasex, which DR did tell me not to continue taking, however my daughter had a miscarriage the day before the surgery, and I totally forgot what he told me. My daughter, a nurse, was supposed to be with me in the hospital to have another presence to listen to instructions, but she was having a dnc, while I was in surgery, and I was thinking more of her than me. ended up in hospital, peeing out more than taking in, with keytones at 2.1, stayed overnight. they took me off all bp meds then my bp started rocketing, and legs swelled up, so it put me a few weeks behind till it all got straightened out. All good now, losing weight consistently. Lesson learned about going to dr, should not have piddled around for so long.

Yes I had them. You may be dehydrated.

I checked my blood pressure at Walmart just now and it was perfect. I am gonna see my GP this week for a checkup. The doc on call said it was most likely dehydration and not taking Vitamins, which I can't tolerate the ones I have. So I just bought some Centrum minty chewable vitamins and we'll see how that goes.
