7 Days Post-Op- feeling light headed

I was sleeved on 12/18. No pain very little gas here and there. Yesterday had a moment; feeling light headed, didn't last long but was very uncomfortable. Feeling came again today. Has this happened to anyone? 

Call your surgeon.......

It would be my guess at 7 days it's probably hydration.

Fluids should be 64oz. Or more per day.

This happens to me everyone in awhile and is definitely related to my hydration. I had that problem before surgery, so I just make sure I up my fluids!

Drink water like it's your job. You should always have water with you. 

Did the light-headedness happen after you stood up? If it did, google orthostatic hypotension. It happens fairly often for a while when losing weight rapidly.

Pain meds can also cause it too.  If you are still taking them.  It could also be anemia.  Have you started iron yet?  Just a couple of suggestions.

That started for me about 4 days after surgery and I let the surgeon know.  He had me come in and my BP was 88/56.  Took me off my BP meds and I've been off every since.

check with your doctor. lack of hydration is common. check your blood pressure.  it may be low due to lack of fluid. or if you take a bp med it may be time to quit. this happened to me at 5 weeks or so. but again, check with a doctor.  diane

I was sleeved on 12/17 and have had that happen a couple times. Very uncomfortable. Mine was hydration and sugar. My mom is diabetic (I'm not) and came to check my sugar just incase. It was 70 which is a little low. I drank some watered down juice and was much better.

Not sure if this is your issue but, I thought I'd share.

Sorry so late but thanks everyone. I went to Dr and it was the BP med Doctor took me off all BP med except for one. I have been great since. Thanks for your support.
