  1. I had zero pain for 12 months or so, then I started having a dull persistent pain which did line up w/ an incision. Moved out of state and not thinking it through I went and saw a general GI Doc. Ran blood work, ultra sound and endoscopy. Finding nothing and having my Doc saying sometimes there are no answers I became discouraged. I ended letting it go for another six months hoping it would go away!? Now 18 months out it hasn't and I'm ready to search out a Doc who does sleeves and I'm looking for anyone who might have had an experience like I have. Thanks for any advice.

    Dizzy Feeling

    Please go see a doctor first off. If they can't find anything more than probable dehydration you might want to look up "vasovagal response". In my experiences at first I would have flop sweats and actually experience something that felt like I was in a hole. Couldn't move basically for 15-20 min then was wiped out for half a day. Had this happen twice in two days post op had had to be readmitted until they ran the blood work. Was told it was dehydration which basically felt like a common response to I don't really know. after this it happened a few more times it got better. I'm 18 months out now and my episodes are not completely gone, sometimes when in a stressful situation or I have a reflux response to something I ate I will get the sweats but no hole or dizziness. Hope this helps I had a hard time finding an answer.
