WOW ... this dizziness is out of control. I passed out and crashed into the linen closet door and ended up in a heap on the floor the other morning. SCARY!!!! And painful. I look like I have been beaten up. I had told the DRs about this dizziness but they do not seem concerned and say all of my bloodwork and BP are "normal". Well this extreme dizziness is very frightening and DANGEROUS.

That is not normal. Are you drinking enough fluids?  Call your doctor or, if he isn't availiable, go to the emergency room.  You are dehydrated.

Might be something not related to WLS.  I have vertigo...(sudden onset of dizziness) there have been a couple of times I was hopsitilized for it.  You might have an inner ear thing. Mine is caused by an inner ear problem.
I certainly hope you would get this checked out.  Keep after you Dr. about this and keep a diary of when the dizziness occurs.  I think Dr.'s will listen to you more if you have it documented.
I do know how scary this is.

I have vertigo and fibromyalgia but this is far worse since surgery ... I think I am dehydrated or just plain not getting enough nutrition ........

You may have extremely blood sugar readings too....that
can cause dizziness.....whatever it is you should not let it
continue on.....get to the ER and find out what's going on.

Thanks for posting, I have been dealing with this too recently. It IS scary! I think I may be dehydrated because I havent been drinking much water, just lots of coffee. I never even thought of that till Jeannie mentioned it!
Thanks everyone!

Blessings

Coffee/caffeine is really BAD (dehydrating). I will probably spend Saturday night in the ER

Sound like dehydration to me. You better up your water.......
