Topic: RE: Reactive Hypoglycemia
I have this problem as well. I passed out while driving about a year ago. I have it under control for the most part now. For me, I have to eat very specific, even amounts of food throughout the day and include carbs (mostly only from veggies). When I was doing just protien, it did not work for me. I met with the nutritionist at my surgeons office as well as the PA there to help me through it. My PCP was NO help!

Topic: RE: Reactive Hypoglycemia
I am going to try to stick with protein and see how it goes. I did hear about the banding RNYers. It is called a Stomaphyx. I will see if my surgeon will suggest it. I still have 100+ to lose!!!
Thanks!

Topic: RE: Reactive Hypoglycemia
Ive had this problem since I was 6 months post-op. My doc told me it was because my body was still producing the amount of insulin I needed at 320 pounds. I still suffer from low blood sugar when I have carbs. If I stick with only protein, I have no problem. And when I say low, I mean 20-30 low!
As for revision, Ive been reading alot about that lately and did you know they are now banding RNYers who didnt lose all the weight or had a regain? I think that is very interesting!
good luck,
kristi

Topic: Reactive Hypoglycemia
Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well. Just a quick post on what I have been going through... Here goes....During my pregnancy I had Reactive Hypoglycemia. Any type of carbs I ate no matter how minimal made my blood sugar go sky high and then take a plung into Hypoglycemia. After I had my baby boy it lingered for about 2 months. The problem went away but it is back with a vengance. I am struggling badly. I have an appointment with my surgeon on 2/3/09. My PCP thinks that my pancreas is overproducing insulin therefore causing me to crash. I have been trying to read up on how to handle this and am reading everywhere that this is a fairly new complication that is arising from the Gastric Bypass procedure. I have horrible nightmares due to the crashing blood sugar at night during my sleep. I wake up with really bad headaches. I eat all day long because my blood sugar drops bigtime. The moment I eat within a half hour I am starving and shaky again. I need a fix for my problem.... It is driving me crazy. I am hoping a fix can be suggested from my surgeon. I still have 100 lbs. to lose. I have also been reading up on a Revision. We will see what happens. I will keep everyone posted.
Thanks for listening
