I had vsg on July 10th. I’m still eating puréed foods and I feel like I eat and drink enough. But normal tasks at home, grocery store, work, etc have me sometimes feeling dizzy and weak. Anyone else? I plan on talking to my surgeon about it next week.

Hi. I was sleeved on July 10th. I still feel weak sometimes and get dizzy. Make sure you’re drinking enough. Yes. Talk with your surgeon about it.

Were you on blood pressure medications before surgery? If so, and you still take them, you may need less. If any of them are diuretic, you may be losing too much Fluid. Please call your doctor; they can help pinpoint your particular issue.

I had that those issues also until two months post op. Check your blood pressure, it may be low. . My surgeon recommended iv therapy for Fluid and Vitamins. That really helped me.

I had the same situation starting 3 weeks post op. It seems that I was deficient in B12, because a shot from my surgeon's office seems to fix the issue nearly immediately.

I had this issue up until 6.5 months post op. They said it was common in “some folks” and to focus on staying hydrated. Thankfully it went away about a week after that conversation 😂

I get dizzy sometimes when I stand up, stretch/yawn while standing up or when I'm bent over and straighten up. I have to stand still for a few seconds otherwise I think I'll be on my ass. I've been wondering about my BP meds, I take two different kinds due to the one not lowering my BP enough. I will be checking it today and tracking it for a few days and calling my PCP if I find it is too low. Thank you @Wisha for this post and thank you to all that responded.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
