So last night when I got up to go to the bathroom. I fainted. Flat out fainted no warning no dizziness no memory of it. I went to the doctor today she took my blood sugar and its low. She also thinks my BP is dropping when I stand up. So I have to get a BP monitor. I was just wondering if anyone else developed low blood sugar? I am six months post and at goal for a couple weeks now.

I am having similar problems as well. It's such an odd thing because I'm use to having high blood pressure problems. As of today, I am completely off my blood pressure med (Atenolol) because my blood pressure is consistently low. The doctor was concerned today because my heart rate was 43 and has been low the past two months. My EKG was otherwise normal.

I don't know why my heart rate is so low, maybe it has to do with the surgery and weight loss. I've lost 90 pounds since my surgery 4 1/2 months ago. I do feel light headed when I stand up quickly sometimes. I'm curious if that is related to heart rate, blood pressure, or blood sugar. Otherwise, I've been feeling fine.

Keep me posted if you find anything out. Thank you.

I saw a post somewhere - the person said they keep Apple juice handy for when their blood sugar goes down and it brings it up immediately

I almost didn't get released from the hospital when I had my surgery on 12/12 because my sugars were low (41). I go in for my 6 week post op next Wednesday and get my labs drawn. I've never had any issues with my sugar levels before surgery but I have a feeling they are still continually low. Hopefully I get an answer to this....it's hard and I'm light headed and dizzy most of the time.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
