Not sure if message went through re: dizziness

[Guest guest]

I posted once already but don't think it went through. I am going to

docs later. I have been dizzy/light headed for a week now and went

home three times last week cause of it. I am 5 months out of surgery

and 60 lbs down. I take vitamins every day. I have started drinking

cofee (black) 1 cup in the mornings since a week and a half ago. I

know it is a no no and if I have to justify it was because I was so

tired. Has anyone else got this way?

Help

I'm going through a bout of being lightheaded, tired feeling and I

think sometimes I'm slightly dizzy. I just don't feel as energetic as

I think I should. This really started, I seem to remember, last

spring when I was about 10 months out from surgery. I seemed to feel

better when exercising.

Then, last August & September I found myself having bouts of

sensations that felt like low blood sugar. I started eating more

frequently.

Bottom line is I'm beginning to think that I might not be absorbing

all the vitamins that I'm taking. Yesterday the lab drew blood for

tests to see how my vitamin levels are so I haven't heard the results

yet.

What I suggest to you is that maybe you should ask your doctors

(either your PCP or WLS doctors) to check your vitamin absorbtion. It

is know that WLS patients often don't efficiently absorb all their

nutrients.

I hope this suggestion helps.
