Lightheaded After Tummy Tuck Surgery

jessmac
I had a TT 2 1/2 weeks ago and I am feeling lightheaded. Sometimes I have to sit down because I feel like I might pass out. I'm not sure if I am just weak or if it could be something else. I never had this issue before the surgery. Is it common to be lightheaded after tummy tuck surgery? Any thoughts?
