dizzy and lightheaded



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced dizziness, lightheaded and blurred vision after eating? I starting getting this every now and then, now I get these syptoms with every meal, no matter what I eat, or the amount I eat?

I' m wondering if this has anything to do with the surgery? Please help!:help:

I get that way every time I get food stuck. It usually passes quickly. If it doesn't, I can be fairly sure that I'll be barfing in about 20 minutes. One time it was so bad I almost passed out! Obviously, whenever this happens, I stop eating and make sure I wait a few hours before I even drink again.

I have been dizzy and light-headed since the surgery (not necessarily when eating, but all the time) and it is just beginning to let up now. (I am three weeks out from surgery) I have done searches on this forum and other places. From what I read, I have concluded that it is a result of the surgery. Some posts say that the vagus nerve lies up against where the band is sewn to the stomach, thus when the stomach is swollen or healing, it could be irritating this nerve. This nerve can cause the dizziness, as well as various other things, such as suppressing hunger, hiccups, etc. The posts I read said as the swelling subsides it will go away. Also, some posts said this may be your 'full' message.

Hi, I have recently been experiencing severe headaches, nausea, vomitting right after or during a meal. Could my band be infected. I have had my band for 2 years now and I lost 70lbs with it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
