If u were taking blood pressure meds prior to surgery and after losing weight your BP is down. This might cause you to be dizzy

I had this happen & it was dehydration. I was drinking fluids but they were all caffeinated (iced tea, coffee, mio energy) which is not adequate, since caffeine is a diuretic. Once I started drinking things w/out caffeine I was fine again. I hope it is as simple as that in your case. Definitely ask your doctor about it.

I am 6 months as well...sleeve sisters! I get dizzy occasionally...so low blood sugar, dehydration, just down right not eating enough. For me, I have sinus trouble and that makes me very dizzy sometimes. I had no idea it was connected. Throwing that out there in case it makes sense for u.

This happened to me twice. The first time I was taken off my high blood pressure medication. Thw second time I was told I am not eating enough calories. I thought I was eating enough.

I get this sometimes if I get up too fast, I think for me its from the low Cal intake. When I was a teenager I use to do the starve yourself diet basically and I used to pass out and 1 time I passed out at work and it was so ebarrassing! and it can be dangerous! Watch yourself

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
