I had this when I got up and walked around and spoke to my Dr about it. She had to take me off of my BP meds. Are you on any BP meds? If so that may be the reason OR you may need to up your Water in take. Apparently Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor which acts with sodium. Once it binds it is flushed out by the kidneys. This makes a lot of sense to me because I was always very thirsty, so I started drink more electrolyte drinks. Once I stopped the Lisinopril the dizziness went away and the thirst did too.

Also, some people on here have said that if the shake or wiggle their legs a few times before getting up then the dizziness goes away.

I am 7 months out and sometimes when I stand up, I get really dizzy. My husband, who is a nurse, says that I need to drink more Water and get more salt in my diet. Then he went into the chemical explanation of why and I zoned out...I can't science.

      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.
