There are many posts here about this over and over. Make sure you have your blood pressure checked. My husband passed out in the shower due to low blood pressure, and he continues to have episodes a lot. It can also be dehydration. Make sure you seek medical advice if you are concerned and it causes problems. Good luck!

I passed out just a few weeks after surgery in the shower and then after then never again. I am about 13 months out and still have problems with being light headed. If I stand up to fast and take off walking I will almost black out and get light headed. My blood pressure has been super low. The doctor did not seem concerned. He said that the body can be so used to carrying so much weight that when you loose the heart does not realize it has to keep working as hard. He said you could have the low HR of a marathon runner. It is scary when it happens!

      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.
