Oh my goodness, that is exactly what I am looking onto the question board
for! I am in the same boat as you, Lap RNY 8/19/03 and feeling awful dizzy
today. How is your protein intake, mine is still struggling so I am not
sure if that is part of it. I hope someone can give you (us) an answer!

You need to report this to your surgeon. There are multiple causes for
dizziness. Among them are low blood pressure, low blood sugar, dehydration
and electrolyte imbalance. I have a regular problem with this and mine is
usually low blood pressure.

Hi, like the other post said there could be a multiple of causes.. but I
also was very dizzy.. and it turned out that when mt 3 month labs came back
I was very low on potassium... so my pcp put me on an extra dose... but
also check on your protein shakes to make sure you are getting adequet
amounts of potassium... good luck but I would definately call your doc...

Vertigo can also be a sign of anemia. So may sure they check your iron.
