 As I read tonight I am thinking this was reactive hypoglycemia.
This I found interesting:

I have to agree I would have reacted by making sure the person was medically stable myself....

Thank you for your concern,I truly appreciate your support,should have come here yesterday.

If something is wrong with your pyloric valve, again it had nothing to do with your DS. The pyloric valve isn't touched in the DS. You have a separate medical issue.

And our rapid absorption of alcohol is well known. But one glass knocking you out cold? I seriously doubt it if wine didn't do that to you before.

I'm flummoxed.

I really wish your neighbors had called the paramedics. What did they say about it? How did you get home?

I remember someone on this board relating a similar experience probably at least a year ago.  They were in a restaurant and headed to the restroom  when they blacked out. 

You might want to change your title to:  has anyone blacked out?

I'm going to disagree with most of the above and say that I think it could well be related to the rapid processing of alcohol to the liver known to occur with both DS and RNY. Even though this didn't happen to you with wine before, this could have been stronger stuff, who knows. What we do know is that people with these operations get drunk (or worse) fast on what seems like small amounts of alcohol.
     I very much doubt reactive hypoglycemia as the cause, given the DS anatomy.
     I do agree with everyone that this should definitely be discussed with your doctor, and the mind boggles that no one sought medical attention for you. If you never get invited back to this neighbor's house, maybe it's just as well.

Indeed. A guest passes out at your party and you don't call 911? WTF?

HUGE suspicion of being roofied. Yeah, it happens to grownups too, and this is a classic description of the effects. What other folks could have been around? Any moron teenagers who might have thought it a practical joke?

There are other things that could have happened, but it's unlikely to have been a straightforward "WLS patient reacted badly to wine" thing, since you've had similar amounts of alcohol before with no ill effect.

Had you taken ANY medication of ANY kind? Like even....oh I dunno, a baby aspirin? (In other words, ANYTHING AT ALL?) Interactions can get very weird with us.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be camped in the doc's office right now.

 I did camp at the Dr's,just home.
She is testing me stem to stern.
CT scan,referral to Neurologist,apt with bariatric Dr,full set of labs.

Shes concerned that it was a black out,with no memory of the occurrence and no warning then no memory of the rest of the night.
