I had the sleeve done almost three months ago. Today at work I almost passed out. I was hot and clamy and sweating. I had the shakes. They caught me just in time and put a cloth on my neck. They sent me home and I called my doctor and they told me to just push fluids. Anybody had this happen. Or any suggestions as to what you would do?

Are you on blood pressure meds? Had you eaten recently? Are you dehydrated? Blood sugar drop?

Meds may need to be reduced, you may have had a reaction to a food, or something else. May not be sleeve related. I would follow my doctors instructions.

No I'm not on medication. Yes and not maybe a little dehydrated. Not sure thats what they thought. This happened two hours ago and I still feel like crap.

I've had dizziness and near faints too. My doctor's office advised me to increase my fluids which I was incredulous of, because I was drinking Water like mad etc.

But it really was the answer for me. I began spacing my drinking more evenly and increased my salt intake to retain the Water. I have definitely improved.

Hope you feel better soon.

This happened to me a few times also, its usually related to what my diet consisted of the day before or not enough fluids and/or if I had coffee in the morning and let too much time pass before getting Breakfast Protein in.

Even still I think my blood sugar drops early morning and I hate when I'm driving and this happens. I believe we are just still early out. Its only 10 weeks for me, but every day is a learning experience.

too much sugar in something you ate? i had a rude awakening when i thought all plain, low fat greek yogurt was low in sugar when it isnt....cabot's is the only one i have come across with low sugar... but too high of sugar does to me what you described....i am 1.5 months from sleeve.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
