dizzy....

hey guys.... i dont know who else to ask... i have been dizzy for a week... it comes and goes... its SO annoying... yes im taking my vits.. yes im drinking enough... yes im getting my protien... i had this happen before... but i forget what i did to fix it... any ideas?

I would say "get thee to thou doctor". Dizzy spells can be a symptom of many different things, some related to your surgery, some not. Your doctor can determine the true cause of your symptoms. Red

yeah.. your right... ill give him a call monday!

Hey there, I agree... You're MD will probably want to pull some labs just to ck all your levels. You may need some supplements, the only safe way to know is by new labs... Best of wishes. Please call your MD. Kim Boca Raton, FL

BY all means see your Dr and soon. About one month ago I read a large articale in the Jacksonville Journal about this problem. They said many people have this after the bypass and it is usually in women more so than men. May not be the same thing but best to see your Dr. Good Luck

yeah your right... ill have to give him a call monday.. or mabye tomorrow .. thanx!

HI! Of course seeing your Dr. is your best bet, but I have read that when you gain weight your body makes more blood vessels to accomodate the extra fat it has to keep fed with oxygen and as we lose weight, we lose the fat but not the vessels. When you sit and get up too quickly the blood flows quickly to the extra vessels that are not needed like before, therefore the "dizzy" feeling. This could be total bull**** but it does make whacky sence,,,also, my hormones and age cause me to get dizzy spells from time to time.....when I don't drink enough water I get dizzy also..hope this is helpful,,,

you know what... i heard that before... makes sence to... i just want it to stop

Alexa - you might have an inner ear infection - but I'm on the same boat as other - give your primary a call. Also what's your BP like? Are you going to Orlando? I just booked the room and my tickets (2) but got charged for 3. I called Amy Williams and left a message so hopefully someone will contact me asap.... Feel better - at the very least go to a local firehouse and have them take your bp

Barbi, I am so happy to hear that you are going to Orlando! It will be so fun to finally meet you! So what about it Alex are you going???? OK See Ya'll there! Can't wait! Kat
