I've been sleeved almost a year and I still get dizzy. Is this normal because I really don't like this feeling. I start seeing white lights and my hearing starts to get muffled. My body starts to give out if I don't lie down.

that could be a number of things - low blood pressure, low blood sugar, inner ear issues, etc. I'd call your PCP. They'll probably want to do a workup to see what's causing it.

Definitely Call the Doc = But i found i was dizzy due to low electrolytes - Once I started taking the pills you drop in Water for runners it really helped

My ears get blocked too coupled with low BP blackouts, dull headaches and random attacks of severe vertigo. When anti nausea drugs weren’t helping the vertigo my GP sent me to a physio to test for BPPV which showed I didn’t. Now think it’s Meniere’s but have to wait for end of lockdown to explore this further. Do you have occasional buzzing/ringing in your ears too (not all Meniere’s sufferers do)? It may be worth raising it as a possibility with your GP.

Check with your doctor 100%. But, I had same issue and was low on Iron. Doctor told me to start taking iron and dizziness went away. Hope this helps...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
