Has anybody fainted ?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone I am 10months post op . So yesterday I fainted . Completely fell back all of a sudden and lost consciousness for about 10 seconds ???? I was so scared. I have been taking Iron bc I was a little anemic in last labs done about 3 months ago. I was wondering if anybody has had the same issue ? I already had lab work today so I will get results this afternoon.

I haven't fainted but I have had a few dizzy moments. My blood pressure is coming down with the weight loss and my PCP is playing catch up with what dose to take as I lose. It typically happens when I bend over or when I have been sitting and stand.

Hoping your labs are great but help as to what is happening!

About six months out I had the flu, just totally flushed out from both ends. I passed out as I was leaving the bathroom, hit my head on the edge of the tub, and was out for about and hour. When I came to, I stood up and passed out again, hit my head on the tub again and stayed out for about an hour and a half. When I came to the second time, I made it to the bed and fell asleep before I could call an ambulance.

I called my doctor the next morning and spent the next day and night in an observation room at the hospital, on a IV to replenish fluids. Since then, I had to get a Life Alert monitor and a Fall Detector.

This has been me lately. The last two weekends while at the park working with my Girl Scout troop when standing up after squaring or bending over I've had to stabilize myself. I was so dizzy that I almost collapsed on a few occasions. I even showed my daughter how to bypass the lock on my phone to call 911 if needed.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
