Sniffle... a dump.. or was I dying?

Horrible last night.   Came home after having dinner... flatbread with ham and cheese... a cosmo...   I came home and laid on the couch with my eyes closed.  I drifted in and out for a couple hours and when I woke at seven pm to get a drink of water everything went black.. I broke out in a cold sweat...almost passed out twice!

I woke up DH and went to the floor... I was cold clammy and drifting in and out. 

 I was so so scared.  I dont understand why this happend so late after eating and I have eaten those things before. That was the most scarey thing I have ever enocountered.

Could this be a dump so long after eating?? I have dumped before and felt bad but this was sooooo scarey you guys!  I remember reading someone was driving and had that happen and had to call an ambulance.  My husband was close to it last night.... it lasted about forty minutes and then I just fell asleep.  Now Im afraid to do anything! 

I just wi**** knew it was one thing... I did have a SF popsicle between the time I laid down and woke up to this.. DH wondered if a regular sugar one got into the wrong box my mistake. I just wish I knew what it was to avoid it next time.. feel like a ticking time bomb now :(

 

Thanks for listening ...

Hugs

Yikes Linda!!  Definately Scarey!   I have heard of folks dumping a couple hours after they ate.  How are you feeling now?  It probably would hurt to give your surgeons office a call to explain what happened.   Hugs to you!!!

You poor thing...I haven't dumped yet.  I think I've had some mild symptoms from a couple of things, but not the dumping I've read about so I can't tell you what it was.  If you don't feel better today or it happens again, call the doctor for sure!  Are you diabetic?  I hope you figure out what that was so you never have to go through that again... Try to take it easy today.... Debi

Hey sweetie sorry you had to go through that horrific episode. Did you every think it may have been the mix put into your cosmo?  It might have sugar.  I hope you find out Troy

Well I have had them many times before... which doesnt mean anything  because somthing that works one time might not work again. I am still so scared right now... I have to work at nine and I feel like " Am I gonna drop again?"  Im sure this was an isolated incident.   It was like.. dehydration... dumping and low blood sugar/ pressure all at once.  Im all teary.  I hope Im somewhat useful at work.   I dont think staying home would be good either.  Ack... Thanks honey... Im just feelin small and scared right now. Ill keep everyone updated.  Ill call my Dr. on Monday and see whats up. Many hugs... send me strenghth

Linda, Please call your Dr. today!  Right now.  If you are still feeling like this...you said you feel like you may drop.  Please call them now.   Prayers and hugs coming your way, sweet girl Lisa Joy

Oh Sweetpea!  What the hey!  How scarey!  Call the doc today and see what they think.  HUGS and strength headed your way!

(((LA))) Let's hope this was an isolated incident!!! Your body is probably still recovering from the shock perhaps, so try to take it easy today. Any way you can cashier vs. barista today? Maybe just let them know you had a low sugar incident last night and if you go down today, you need DH called or ambulance. Do you wear a medical bracelet ID'ing you had RNY? If not, make sure you put a note in with your ID - something so the paramedics know. Love ya!

This (not quite to this extreme) has happened to me when I've been consistently haveing carbs over a couple hours...then all of the sudden I dump.   Like a diabetic thing (not one so I'm not sure), but it feels like out of the blue I get the cold sweats, then get hot, then dizzy, feel like vomiting, shaky...super scary. Fastest way to get over it for me is a quick protein shake.

It kind of sounds like a sugar coma.  Maybe the combo of flatbread (carbs) and a sneaky popsicle did you in.  Take it easy today and see how you feel.  Scary, scary!
