Lightheaded After Tummy Tuck Surgery

Dr. Kavali answered the question well just below.  I would rubberstamp her remarks.  You might be fine but I would report this to your surgeon.  Blood loss is usually negligible during a tummy tuck, but post-op anemia is possible.  Dehydration, meds, etc. can also contribute.  Pulmonary embolism, which has a lot of other symptoms, can cause this as well and is dangerous.  Call your surgeon.

I hope you discussed this issue with your surgeon.  If not, you should ASAP.  Lightheadedness after any  major surgery could be due to blood loss during surgery (leading to anemia), your pain medications, dehydration, or a number of other things that could be more or less serious.  You need to call your surgeon for her medical advice.
