Dizzy and Weak

[Wisha 4]

I had vsg on July 10th. I’m still eating puréed foods and I feel like I eat and drink enough. But normal tasks at home, grocery store, work, etc have me sometimes feeling dizzy and weak. Anyone else? I plan on talking to my surgeon about it next week.

Hi. I was sleeved on July 10th. I still feel weak sometimes and get dizzy. Make sure you’re drinking enough. Yes. Talk with your surgeon about it.

Were you on blood pressure medications before surgery? If so, and you still take them, you may need less. If any of them are diuretic, you may be losing too much Fluid. Please call your doctor; they can help pinpoint your particular issue.

I had that those issues also until two months post op. Check your blood pressure, it may be low. . My surgeon recommended iv therapy for Fluid and Vitamins. That really helped me.

I had the same situation starting 3 weeks post op. It seems that I was deficient in B12, because a shot from my surgeon's office seems to fix the issue nearly immediately.

I had this issue up until 6.5 months post op. They said it was common in “some folks” and to focus on staying hydrated. Thankfully it went away about a week after that conversation 😂

I get dizzy sometimes when I stand up, stretch/yawn while standing up or when I'm bent over and straighten up. I have to stand still for a few seconds otherwise I think I'll be on my ass. I've been wondering about my BP meds, I take two different kinds due to the one not lowering my BP enough. I will be checking it today and tracking it for a few days and calling my PCP if I find it is too low. Thank you @Wisha for this post and thank you to all that responded.
