Has Anyone Blacked Out After Standing Up?

 Interesting.  Anything is possible.  I have had a life filled with ear infections and only have a partial ear drum (for about 15 years now...) so I suppose it could be ear related.

Sue, I've seen this one addressed on the RNY forum many times.  Been while though since I've read their suggestions.  Low blood sugars seem to be a big part of it, which seem to be caused from eating more carbs for some people.  I believe I've read that some keep a high protein snack at their bedside to nibble before their feet hit the ground. 

 Thanks.  I'm definitely going to monitor these occurrences in relation to when I ate last and see if there is any correlation.

Cheers,

Sue

yup, once while at work and it turned out my BP was quite low.

 Thanks Kelly.  It totally makes sense based on how I felt at the time!

Happened to me last night..

Woke up to my cat licking my face.. usually my eyes just get very very dark and it passes but last night it was pretty bad.

I went to emerg to find out my BP was low and my sodium is very low.. /sigh

 Yes that's exactly it!  Everything gets dark but it passes.  Usually!  lol

I have had this happen a few times.  Once because I hadn't eaten anything for breakfast and got busy and sort of forgot lunch - lesson learned - and a few times due to low blood pressure.  Not fun.

 HI Sue i have had this happen to me.it could be a number of things i went to my doctor and my blood pressure was low and i  got my potassium checked in my monthly blood work and it was low and i was put on a medication called potassium citrate and i have to take a table spoon once a day everyday.i hope that you find out what causes you to blackout and feeling dizzy.all the bes of luck to you in your wls journey.please take care of yourself.sending you positive vibes and hugs .i hope i have helped you in some way.
