:- :help:SURGENT QUESTION

Hello all... I went a saw Dr. Pest and he agrees that I am at my weight 263lbs, but when I decide to get my TT, he is sure the abdominal skin I have to remove will be about 50 lbs alone. so that would actually put my weight about 213lb. Here is my question, I have asked my primary, she is clueless, and I forgot to ask Dr. Pesta. But every now and then (2x average a week) I have the complete bottom outs in my blood sugar. It could happen while I am eating, just after I have eaten, hours after I have eaten, or even when I havent had anything to eat yet at all when I wake up. I did think it was the machine, but I tripple test when this happens. I just all of a sudden get the shakes really bad, cant walk they are so bad and I feel so weak. When I test I have tested as low as 20. It is happening right now, I had special K with nfskim milk for breakfast at 930 & coffee... I just tested 3x in 30 minutes, 46, 43, 44. The episodes only alast about an hour cause I eat a protein bar and drink a glass of oj when it happens. Has anyone have this happen, what did you do, or any clues...... Paige 385/263

I think youeat to fast and spike your insuline. Then it throws your sugar way off. kp fcp

nope, thats not it, They found that my opening is VERY SMALL and that restricts the amount, and time it takes me to eat. 1 cup of cereal takes me about 35-45 minutes to eat, and believe me, its is soggy by time I get to the last bit. Dr. P & I decided that stretching my opening woulld NOT be benificial, cause it will stretch on its own in time a bit. I just need to be very CONCIOUS of the NIBLITS of food I eat, chew till its gone, and about 30-60 seconds between bites mininum. Paige

Paige, I don't think I can help much with the blood sugar thing since I don't have that problem. But I do have ?'s I started at 392 and was told to wait til I was around 180 to have plastics. I have lots of loose skin also, so who is guiding you in your plastics etc.? I would love to start sooner, as my loss is slowing down tremendously and I had surgery 6-1-05. I have lost 142lbs so far. My stomach is horrible, i think that alone would be like you said 40-50 lbs of skin. Who is your plastic surgeon? Wendy

I havent talked to a plastic surgeon at all... I am in great faith of DR. PESTA... if he refers me then I will.. But my reasoning in NOT having the TT for atleast another year is cause I want to be sure I am REALLY at my total loss, and IF **** HAPPENS if you get my drift. I dont want to have a TT then RUIN IT by **** HAPPENS... Paige
