A 40-year-old woman was rushed to the emergency room after fainting, a month following weight loss surgery. Doctors discovered she had suffered a minor stroke. The woman, eager to lose weight, had been depriving herself of water and nutrients while exercising vigorously, causing dehydration and thickened blood—leading to the stroke. Upon hospitalization and proper treatment, the patient regained consciousness. The doctor emphasized the importance of staying hydrated, especially during hot weather to ensure proper bodily functions and waste elimination to prevent health risks like stroke.
