Light headed



Recommended Posts

I’m exactly 2 months out and I’ve been very light headed. No other issues. But sometimes I get so dizzy I have to lean on something so as not to fall. Is this normal? What causes it?

Doesn’t sound normal. Talk to your doc, sounds like your having some type of deficiency. Could be anything from low Iron to low blood sugar.

I’d talk to your DR, there are a few things that can cause this. I have had this off and on and my doctor said to drink more electrolytes, which has helped a lot.

7 weeks out and I get dizzy occasionally. I'm pretty sure my blood pressure is going to low.

Please make sure you are getting plenty of fluids, as dizziness can be a sign of dehydration. It happened to me a couple of months after sleeve surgery, had to go to the ER and they did bags of IV fluids. I had no idea I wasn't getting in my fluids, it really snuck up on me.

Also agree that it could be low blood pressure or low blood sugar as other posters mentioned.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
