Since the surgery I have had low blood pressure. And now I'm getting light headed every time I get up. I'm taking my vitamins every day and my diet is really good. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

I've always had low blood pressure; even before surgery. But, I would talk to your doctor about it, especially since your getting light headed. Best of luck and keep us updated. Jill

Just a thought, are you getting enough water in???? If you aren't you will be lighthead when you stand up. It has happen to me since my surgery and thats what the nurse said to make sure I do is get the water in. The bp was high before surgery and now its on the normal side. Laura

I've been drinking lots of water and taking in lots of fluids. I am also taking my vitamin twice a day. My diet is really good (making sure I have my protein in). I went to PCP this week and he thinks that I made not have enough salt in my diet and maybe it could be my medication. ???? So, I was told to cut my meds in half and put more salt on my food. I'll try that for now but I have an appt. next week with my surgeon. We'll see what my surgeon will say. 7 months post op and have lost 93 lbs since my surgery and 103 lbs. since this time last year. Thank you all for the info. and I will keep up to date
