LOL LOL I'm such a research geek. My husband calls me the hottest nerdy geek he's ever met.The day that led me to my PCM's office is; I was bent over at walmart grabbing something from the bottom shelf, and I heard a man's voice go "ummm hmmm". I popped up so quickly that I almost blacked out, trying to grab the cart, and stumbled all over the place and felt arms slide around my waist, and when I could gather my senses, I was being held by a man in his 50s/60s with a zztop beard and was missing at least 3/4 of his teeth, and reaked of Jack Daniels and Pall Mall cigarettes. He said somthing "along the lines, darling it's too early to get tipsy". . . All I could think was "Please sweet baby Jesus, I hope his kinfolk aren't waiting for me in a van out front." Ha ha ha

I had this problem pretty early out! My PA suggested that I up my calories and that it was my blood pressure. Once I upped my calories a little the dizzyness and blurryness went away for the most part. Every once in a while it still happens to me, but for the most part it's helped. Call your surgeons office and talk to them and they will most definatley help you! Good luck girl!
I am a nurse and almost 3 months out from surgery. I have the same problem. It's orthostatic hypotension. When you get dehydrated your blood pressure drops when you stand up or bend over. It CAN make you pass out if the drop is severe enough. On the days that ii'm having this problem I just increase my fluid intake and then I'm fine again. It only takes one day without the proper amount of fluid to get dehydrated enough to experience this problem, so mine comes and goes, depending on how I do that day with fluids. Hope that helps! Good lulck!
