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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
