I had a orthopedic doc prescribe mobic for my fib. too. I spoke with my surgoen and he told me not to take it. he said that it can upset the lining of the stomach just like ibuprofen. the problem is the treatment is a light scope down your throat if you develop a bleed and thats where us with little stomachs have the problem. It can cause the stomach to rupture. It is not a cause of the meds but of the cure to heal it. I hope this helps.

I posted a while back about having problems with my low blood sugar. I read alot but very seldom do i ever post. But i was just wandering if any of ya'll are having problems with hypoglycemia? I am leaving on the 12th headed to the Mayo Clinic in Minnisota for surgery. I ended up being one or those rare statistics that have an over active pancreas after surgery. They call it (Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia w/ neuroglycopenia). Basiclly it means that when i eat, my blood sugar drops extremely low. The plan is to remove part of my pancreas so that i will not produce so much insulin therefore leaving me low blood sugar free. I have been fighting a battle since about March with this low blood sugar thing. It has dropped as low as 15 on a few different occasions. It averages about 50-60 until I eat then it drops. I have been able to maintain between 155-165 though. And that is great. My 10's are to big. So it's 6-8's. (I even squeezed into a 4) I bout peed on my self too. I am looking forward to having all of this behind me and enjoying my new life once again. Would love to hear from anyone that is experienceing any of the same problems.
