Any other post-ops having a problem with your sense of balance?

I'm alittle over 9 weeks post-op (distal RNY) and I'm STILL having a problem with my sence of balance. Usually it happens when I get up to fast or change direction suddenly when I'm walking. Then I sort of start falling to one side & I have to grab onto something like a wall to prevent from falling. Occasionally I'll get this feeling of a loss of balance, or unsteadiness, when I'm standing still. It's kind of like dizziness. I know that balance is controlled in the ears, so maybe the problem lies there. OR, is this a lingering side effect of the surgery? If so, when will this go back to normal?! It's kind of embarassing when I loose my balance in public. People are probably wondering what I REALLY have in my water bottle!!!
