    Re: Dizzy spells and fainting post op.

    You need to see your doctor!!!! Doesn't sound right and you can hurt yourself. You shouldn't be passing out because of the sleeve.

    Re: I am getting very frustrated

    You will start losing again. Lower your calorie intake a little. Eat more protein over carbs. You will start losing again soon.

    Re: Needing some guidance!!

    All sounds normal...aside for the thyroid issue-but you have that under control. I would guess increase the B12 if you have already had all your levels checked and they are all normal.
