Hello,

I had a similar thing happen after my surgery. The next morning, I passed out on my way to the bathroom. It was very temporary for me - just a problem with getting up and keeping my blood pressure up for a moment apparently. Anything serious should be investigated and passing out can be a sign of very serious things. My thoughts are with you and your wife. I hope things are well. N

It could be a drop in blood preassure when she gets up. If she was going to the bathroom and straining to have a stool that could have caused it to. When she is getting up tell her to give herself time to adjust from lying to sitting then sitting to standing.

Keep her well hydrated! Push fluids and when the doc says she can have more than clear liquids give her some calories. I about passed out on day 3 and I think it was lack of calories and some dehydration. I had others tell me the same thing. Just watch her. If you have more problem don't hesitate to call the doctor. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Let us know how she is doing!
