Good Morning! I am 2 years 3 months post-op and doing great, but I do suffer from dizziness at times, and it lasts for hours. I went to my PCP back in January and he said my blood pressure was low. I checked it last night when I was dizzy and it was fine. I am still that way this morning. Any ideas? Hugs, April 275/128/135 5'1 (below goal) highest/current/goal

How's your water intake? I can always guage my water intake (or lack there of!) whenever I get a little dizzy spell. It usually means that I'm not getting enough!! Just a thought!

Hi, April! Do you check your blood sugar at these times? I have that problem w/my blood sugar plummeting and have to eat some yogurt or pb on wheat crackers. I, also, feel clammy, disoriented and very sweaty. Hope you find a reason!!

Hugs,

Hi. No, I have not checked that. I guess I need one of those things to do that huh? I get dizzy, and jittery feeling inside and heart "feel" like it is racing, though it did not show that on the blood pressure monitor. Thanks for response, April 275/128

Hey, April. Maybe your pcp will have a monitor you can have or borrow. Mine gave me one. Mine occurs 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours after eating or during exercise or if I eat too many carbs. My surgeon said it's common in about 5% of patients 1-3 years after surgery! Lucky us, huh?!? LOL Good luck - and let me know, k?

Hugs,
Connie

It happens to me shortly after eating or exercise, but I very very little carbs..but have been walking 6 miles a day the last few days, which is twice my norm..and haven't eaten in a few hours before walking....hmmmmm Hugs, April
