Drunk feeling and swaggering while walking?
I am 15 months out from RNY and have noticed the last few days that out of the blue I feel like I lose my balance when I walk..almost like I sway to the right...Not sure if this is a sugar issue or maybe a drop in blood pressure.Anyone else experience this?
Thanks,
Sherry

I hope by now you have gone to the doctor! My daughter had her surgery in July. In September she started having the same (plus other) symtoms as you. they got progressively worse - her doctor was not helpful. we wound up at NY Presbytarien hospital where she finally got the help she needed. Thanks to Dr. Pomp and the neurological team there.
She was suffering from severe vit. deficiencies!
If you haven't done so already, get a CBC from your primary.
I had the same experience Saturday in the mall I was fine one min. Than I felt weird like I was drunk and walking to the right. I got hot shaky and felt like I was gonna pass out! I had to find a place to sit down it passed in about 30min I was fine but felt a little jumpy in my stomach its happened a few times I have a appointment with my Surgeon on Dec 10Th I thinking about moving it up.
Assuming it wasn't dehysdration..... Then get to a dr.
I'm 3 yrs out and on 10/31 passed out after several of those episodes where I felt drunk - out of body, lightheaded. I was hospitalized as it happened while I was visiting my dad in the hospital. I ended up spending days and was then released - the dr's are still trying to determine what's going on. Since 10/31 I have become progressively worse with almost daily episode of dizziness and have had a total of 10 additional fainting spells.
I'm writing this from my hospital bed @ Cleveland Clinic in weston. They're trying to find out if it's my pancrease over creating insulin. I have not eating since Wed supper (4:30) They're trying to induce hypoglycemia (sp) to do a special test.
This will be my 3 hospitalization in 6 weeks.
Don't just ignore this as it can be serious. I have been dealing with these episodes since the early summer but ignored it and now look where I'm @...
Good luck!
