It is a very common side effect of the gastric surgery. I was just talking with my cousin about it yesterday (he's a dr.) and he said that b/cuz of our previous weight, our pancreas was putting out so much insulin that when we lost it all, it takes a good long while for it to even out. If you eat something (mine typically happens when I don't eat correctly, i.e. a lot of high sugar) wrong, your blood sugar shoots up and your pancreas puts out a tremendous amount of insulin, and then you bottom out. Mine has gotten as low as 42 -- which is dangerous and borderline diabetic stuppor (sp? close to diabetic coma). Be very careful and try not to let it happen too often, make note of what you have eaten when it happens. Hope that info helps!!! ~~emily

Is anyone having a problem with low blood sugar? This started about 6 months ago once in awhile. Now it is happening more often. I have a doctors appointment today, so maybe he can tell me why this is happening. Thanks Carol

When I first had surgery someone suggested Dramimine . Haven't had any reason to take it but I have it in my medicine cabinet just in case . You may want to ask your doctor about trying that. Sandy
