Are you on a med for blood pressure? It may now be too strong.

Your surgeon or PCP should be contacted.

check your potassium too. Mine was very low & causing the dizziness. Best of luck.
Blessings,

I struggled with the same thing.  It was low blood pressure, with the added suspicion that getting dehydrated did tend to make it worse.  The moving positions, feeling dizzy and seeing black for a bit when I stood up, were part of it for me.  I fretted and didn't like it, but in the end it gradually went away.  I also remember my hand going to sleep if I was in certain positions too long.  My theory is that it was just part of my body reacting to such a sudden drop in my weight and/or the residuals from the surgery?  I would see my PCP - I know I did several times.  Doctors will always react to high blood pressure, but I haven't found one who cares how low mine runs now.  I am a worry wart and wanted to know what was wrong at the time, but like I say, it just got better after a while.  I learned to hang on to something and wait a bit after I stood up. 

Good luck - hope it goes away!
