I'm almost a year out from my surgery (April 22) and I keep getting these episodes where I suddenly get a wave of nausea, lightheaded, kinda hot, and almost dizzy near faint. I have never been diabetic before even at my highest weight and it does not run in my family. I know it isn't my blood pressure because I did check it and it was fine. Once I eat something, then I feel okay just weak for awhile. Has anyone in my CT family experienced this or even heard of it?

Sharona take care and keep up the great work...you are my inspiration!
Hey there ctcutie,

I also had this happen to me about the 6 month time frame. I went and had some testing and sure enough I was anemic and my blood sugar was really out of wack. I am now doing great just make sure I eat at regular intervals. I hope you have such an easy solution. I would suggest getting a work up done from your doc. That way you can rule out anything serious. Good luck!
