Okay, well, I got my band done two years ago, and it has been a complete success. My doctor is in Louisiana where my mother and my family live, however, I moved to England about a year ago. I visited in December and had an adjustment and everything has been relatively okay. I've been ill a bit and have had trouble eating solids, but I just returned to liquids. The reason I started this thread was because since then about 90% of the time that I have stood up, no matter the speed, I become incredibly dizzy, the edges of my vision begin to fade until everything is black before returning to normal. This normally lasts about 30 seconds, at most. All the blood pours form my face and I have been told I go as white as a sheet. This has been happening more frequently recently, and just yesterday it happened when I was in the kitchen cooking. I had not stood up or moved, I was chopping green onions. I almost cut off my fingers!

I am not dehydrated, I drink water constantly, I eat regular meals..the only thing that I have found to help are sugar tablets..well, actually, dextrose tablets. I do not want to have to rely on these, however. I am due in for another appointment in June..help? :smile:

Anemia can cause dizzyness. Which is a lack of iron. You may not be getting enongh iron in you diet and may have to take a iron pill. But i am not a doctor so please get checked.
