I had my surgery dec.13. This coming wens. I will be 2 weeks out. I have been on a liquid diet for a month now and have not broken it (as much as it sucks,lol) I have been experiencing severe dizziness when I get up from the couch, out of bed etc. So dizzy I even loose eye sight and/or my vision gets fuzzy. I have been staying hydrated and walk everyday. I have pain near my belly button that has gotten worse like a 'internal bruise'. Its not the abdominal discomfort because it got better to the point where I could laugh and cough freely . Till about a couple days ago I cant even laugh without a pretty decent throbbing sting pain. I also get spontaneous chest pains that occur for about a min-30 sec. Then go away completely (But is not gas) I am 2 days away from starting the "creamed soup stage" and due to today being christmas my doctor isnt open I dont want to go to the ER for something minor. Has anyone else expierenced this ?

Chest pain isn't minor... honestly, since you're only two days away, I'd try to have some cream soup now. Two days difference won't be the end of the world. Maybe you'll notice a difference once you've had some soup. If you don't, I'd go to the doc asap tomorrow!

During a fad juicing diet I was experiencing literally everything you said above, once I ate something other than drinking a juiced vegetable, it all went away.

The symptoms of dizziness and vision problems can be caused by low blood pressure or by low blood sugar. It can be caused by dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. There are many potential causes.

On my discharge directions that list when to contact my surgeon's office is:

6. Chest pain, rapid heartbeat and/or dizziness.

The primary concern is probably a blood clot in the lungs, which produces dizziness, chest pains and vision problems. http://www.thrombocyte.com/signs-of-blood-clot-in-lung/

Your surgeon should have an on call physician who would cover even when the office is not open. Are you feeling better? What did you decide to do? Those symptoms are concerning!

Always call. Most have a backup person on call. As a healthcare provider and a sleeve patient I never play around with chest pain. Hope it all works out for you.
