help!! need input

Ok are any of you getting lightheaded lately? The last 2 days, when I get up I am light headed. Is this due to my body getting used to my new stomach? Please any input would help me sleep better, before tomorrow when I can call my Dr. - Melissa

hi melissa, yes!! i have lightheadedness when i go from a sitting or stooping position to a standing position. in fact,yesterday i was weeding flowers and when i stood up,i almost passed out. i had my surgery on 5/26. i am also wondering if it's my b.p. or what?????? good luck girl. hugs,tracy

Tracy- I am feeling better, knowing that I am not the only one who is feeling this way, but not happy that you are experiencing them too. I am going to call my Dr. today. One person told me her Dr had to change her BP meds and lower the dose since she has lost weight. I am not on anything like that, but I do take paxil and seroquel. I hope it is just a dosage problem, and not something horrible. I am going to ask my Dr to do some blood work to make sure I am where I need to be. Call your Dr and try to find out what is going on with you, and keep me updated please. I will keep you in my prayers. Best of luck to you too sweetie!!- Melissa

YES!!! and it's driving me nuts, happens several times a day. I too am glad to hear that I am not the only one. My friend that had the surgery 18 months ago said that it may be because I am not getting in enough water.

Melissa, I haven't had lightheadedness, but I have had those "spots" in my field of vision that you get right before you pass out several times during the past week or so. Guess that's kind of the same thing...I am curious to hear what your dr told you might be the cause. Let us know what he/she said, please. Hope you're feeling better! ~Jennifer

OK well my Dr seems to think it is my body adjusting, since I haven't had any light headedness today he said to call him the next time it happens. He feels it isn't my meds or blood pressure, since I have always had perfect BP, and I am on the same does of meds that I was on, when I weight 200lbs. So that is it for now, but I will keep you updated if anything happens from here. You should call your Dr since it can be a variaty of things.-Melissa
