DeAnnaGRn 9 Posted January 30, 2014 An 2 weeks out and find I get dizzy with exertion. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Not sure if it is dehydration ( it's hard to get all the Water in) or lack of calories ( I get about 600 a day) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shondelrobert 12 Posted January 30, 2014 An 2 weeks out and find I get dizzy with exertion. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Not sure if it is dehydration ( it's hard to get all the Water in) or lack of calories ( I get about 600 a day) Can I ask you a question? Did you have to go on liquid diet first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeanZ_RN 378 Posted January 30, 2014 I'm betting on dehydration. Especially if your dizziness occurs when you first stand up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cindy Quebedeaux Breaux 9 Posted January 30, 2014 I was dizzy and such for a while and now it is slight. I had a B1 defeniciency. They had me do blood work before my second visit. I still having issues but it is better. I havr not been able to start exercising because of this. The other day I fell as a result. Now all I want to do is sleep. I am tired all the time.

smaller_Alex 13 Posted January 30, 2014 I had dizziness and lightheadedness also. I lost about 50 lbs 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after the surgery. My surgeon said it was almost certainly due to low blood pressure (it was low when I went in for my post surgery follow up). He sent me to my doc the next day and I had my BP medication reduced and I haven't had any dizziness since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted January 30, 2014 Get some G2 and mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with Water and sip it until it is gone...If you start to feel better you were dehydrated..And it would be good if you did this on a daily basis to keep your electrolytes up. i am 14 months out and still drink G2 every day for this reason....K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlotta1 401 Posted January 30, 2014 I was dizzy for several weeks after the surgery..but it subsided as time went on. We had major surgery and our bodies need to heel . Check your blood pressure several times during the day. I usually got dizzy when I rose from a laying position. Also, I could hardly drink Water for weeks after the surgery. That was also a factor, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
