Severe Hypoglycemia

Had my surgery in 2005 and about a month and a hal*****his severe hypoglycemia snuck up on me. I am currently out of work on loa.. nothing is regulating my levels. If i don't eat I have a reaction, if I do eat I have a reaction. It is caused by this stupid surgery i wish i would have never gotten. This is the beginning of something bad. I am sure half the people I know from work who have witnessed some of my bad reactions probably think i am looney tunes or on serious drugs.... this stuff is scary. I am afraid to be alone, I can't drive my car, it's just bad. Really bad and I'm really scared o the future.

I am sorry to hear of the problems that you are having.  I hope that you find something that will help you, soon.  I know that it is hard, but try to be positive.  Keep us posted on how you are doing.

I am sorry you feel like this. You look wonderful.  I wish you all the happiness you were looking for with this surgery. Have you gone back to your Dr? Has he not been able tohelp you . 

There is a lady on line named melting Momma- not sure how she spells it, but she is now hypoglycemic too. She is very interesting and communicative. I do not know her, but she has been very open about her struggles too. Good luck-

I had my surgery in march of 2005, and about two years out I got a low blood sugar attack. It was alwful. Now I suck on two peanutbutter nips( not the sugar free kind) , This usually helps, if two don't help much I get two more and that does the trick. Hope this helps,  yvonne

i too am so sorry to read this. for different reasons i know what it feels like to have life interrupted because you're so afraid. i dont have much help to say except i recommend seeing an endocrinologist (sp?). mine is great and she told me health pros are just now starting to catch on about this issue post-op and how to roll with it or prevent it or help it or whatever they do. i myself am insulin resistant and even now, pre-op, sometimes have low blood sugar, and my endo warned me about severe drops after surgery because of what it does. anyways good luck and throw your fear up to god and pray for him to ease it, thats all i can say because im doing the same. much love dear.
