I was told by my doctor to keep an eye out for this since I take 3 blood pressure pills but I think it happened this morning I got very dizzy in the shower. It was cold in house since the weather can't decide what it wants to do and I got up and took a hot shower I was in there washing my hair with my eyes closed and the room started to spin. I slept late and hadn't eaten yet so maybe that added to the problem. I still don't feel very well an hour later

A few months ago I had a few dizzy spells, usually walking from my car across a parking lot. It stopped happening after a few weeks. Now my blood pressure is back to high normal on one blood pressure med. I was hoping I could ditch this last BP med but not yet I guess. I used to take two BP meds and stopped one of them a few weeks after surgery.

I'm going to have to go to my doctor. I am scheduled to see her at the end of April, but I may go sooner. I have been experiencing dizziness when going from sitting to standing. Last Wednesday I actually fell right down onto the floor. Didn't actually black out, I don't think, but one second I was standing and the next I was on the ground. That time was going from laying down to standing up, so I think that might be what made it worse.

Yup, my blood pressure has been running very low for me. 110/56 Unfortunately I take a very low dose of propanalol to prevent Migraines. As soon as I stop that med my migraines come back with a vengeance.

I have tried other preventatives and this one seems to help the most.

Thankfully I have not felt so dizzy that I fall or pass out, I simply get dizzy and then it passes.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
