Dizziness, tunnel vision, fainting.... WLS?

Sausage did this to me. Too much fat, and it was my way of dumping.

yep..happened to me too. I was told to have a protein snac****asionally to prevent that from happening. i now eat about 5 times a day to prevent it.

Oh yeah, I do that too. More protein and less carbs...and more tiny snacks. When I feel a bout coming on I eat a cheese stick...That generally helps.

Wow there's at least 3 different possible reasons in this thread, I wonder what the doc will say lol

Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions! I will keep you all posted on what the outcome is.

Jessica, similar things have happened to me a few times since surgery. It happens from time-to-time when I get up too fast but twice it happened while I was just standing around talking. I spoke to my doctor about it and she took my pulse standing and sitting and noted that it was much slower when I was standing...which could be to blame for these fainting spells. In my case, it was happening because I was dehydrated.

It's not an everyday thing, not even a every week thing.... Sometimes, it just happens, but mostly when I am going from sitting to standing and walking. I'm thinking I am drinking enough water, but maybe I should drink throughout the evening? Thanks for replying and letting me know that I am not alone in experiencing this.

Jessica- Google-- POSTURAL HYPOTENSION  and see if that describes what you are experiencing.  That's when your BP drops from sudden changes in position.  Maggie

Maggie, Thank you for the information, I did google it. It does sound similar. I am going to bring this up in my appointment tomorrow, THANKS!!!

Hope you get some resolution to this soon.  So glad I could help. But hopefully your doc should be able to really tell what's going on. I'm just a pediatric nurse!  Hope you feel better and this stops happening. No fun to live like that I am sure. Let us know what he thinks! Maggie
