Hello! I was banded on 1/22/09 and so far have lost about 60 pounds. I have a fainting episode back on 8/12/09 while shopping in Kohl's and they did a neurological workup and everything was negative. The doctors chocked the syncope up to having a UTI.
I had another fainting episode on 8/17/10 in Walmart, fell down in an aisle and got a laceration about my right eye brow. They labeled it a seizure and now I cannot drive for 6 months here in NC. The neurologist ordered an EEG which came back perfectly normal. I am in the process of having a cardiac workup to make sure it is nothing with my heart.
I have also had my doctors re-evaluate my medications and have made some changes.
Both episodes have been since banded and wondered if anyone else has experience fainting episodes and have any idea if maybe it has to do with dumping syndrome, hypoglycemia or lacking Vitamins or nutrients. Thanks!
