sleeved 9/6/19. I get lightheaded almost every time I get up. Other than that I am great. Does anyone else get lightheaded?

Yes. For me it's lack of fluids. Stand up slowly.

All the time. Sometimes, I think other people think I'm drunk.

it's pretty common. It's most likely orthostatic hypotension. Just get up more slowly...

I get lightheaded in my workouts (boxing) when I have to get down for sit-ups or floorwork and then get back up again.

I used to get lightheaded halfway through any workout. my PA said to eat some fruit or something like applesauce before the workout for some quick energy. It actually helped.

Yup. Lightheaded when I get up. I have low blood pressure and low pulse. Make sure you're not dehydrated, and you may want to check your blood pressure.

In my experience light headedness has usually been due to dehydration

      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.
