Anyone passing out?!?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any issues with passing out? I had my sleeve done on 1/29/13 and the beginning of feb while on liquids I passed out 2 times, went 911 to ER the 1st time everything was normal except my blood pressure was wacky standing, sitting and lying down. I figured it was the lack of food but last week it happened again! I was out of the house and on the go for about 5 hours without anything to eat but just wanted to see if anyone had any issues with this??

Thanks!!

maybe your blood pressure is too low and you should have it checked. Are you getting in enough calories and liquids each day? I try to eat something every 3-4 hours and if I'm not eating, I'm definitely drinking.

Are you on any meds? I had an issue where I passed out once, well twice in a 5 minute period, and ended up in the ER and they ended up taking me off my blood pressure medicine because everything else was fine. I have had no further issues. The doc also reinforced how important fluids are so make sure you are keeping up with those.

How are things now? Any new episodes?

My surgeon is your surgeon's partner, Dr. Kaul.

Hope all is well.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
