Hypoglycemia information for all-xpost

Hi, I've been following your post and appreciate you and your husband's time and effort.  I'm almost at three years post-op and have had problems with hypoglycemia for about the last year.  I lost 215 lbs. which was considered by my doc to be too much too fast.  I gained 40 back and felt somewhat better.  I have had difficulty keeping food down for a majority of the time and have not been able to keep hardly anything down since June 9th.  My blood sugar only drops post-grandially (after eating) (please forgive spelling).  Since I haven't been able to eat, my blood sugar has remained stable.  I also have an ulcer at my anastomosis site that won't heal so when I do eat it usually comes back up from irritating the ulcer.  I have worked with so many docs trying to figure this out it gets frustrating. Currently I'm working with a doc at UCLA and he is trying everything to figure it  out.  I've had MRI's, PET SCANS, Nuclear Scans, Endoscopic Ultrasounds, glucose tolerance tests, all coming back normal.  We tried Acarbose but it made me sick.  All of the docs are now saying that it looks like a reversal of the bypass will be only option.  However, I'm going to UCLA on Thursday and we will try one more thing.  I will have to give myself injections of a med 3x per day.  Just in case I have made an appointment with my bypass doc to see about the reversal.  Being that I'm also a psych patient has complicated matters further.  It's turned into a vicious cycle, I can't eat because I get sick, I get dehyrated and malnourished, my psychosis takes off when I get scared, I eat, my blood sugar drops, I panic, psychosis gets worse, I don't eat, etc.. At this point I think I just want the reversal and I'll take my chances.  Again thanks for the post, I will take it to my doc at UCLA. Lorrie

Good luck to you. I hope that you can get this resolved!

Hi Folks,

I have just located this site.  Pretty ridiculous considering I had rny nearly 9 years ago. 

I came here because I have had complications.  Some rather serious.  I had adhesion removal surgery last august.  Okay, stay on the point steph...I had no after care support what-so-ever.  Just wasn't available from my surgeon back then.  I have been "dumping" since very soon after surgery.  My doc bypassed 5 ft, and the reconnect is a bit distal too.  I noticed somewhere along the line that I had two different kinds of reactions in my bs.  One that was immediate or within a short time after eating something high carb or sugery.  The other one is more diabolical.  1.5 to 2 hrs. after eating - and it doesn't seem to matter what.  When my bs drops, we're talking 20 to 35 and it comes on fast.  This happens 2 to 3 times a week.  I've informed my dr.(GP), but no one seems terribly concerned.  I even blacked out once, my daughter poored coke into my mouth - no kidding, and slapped me around until I came to.  bs was 18 that time.  Everything I've read on these boards makes it sound like I should be VERY concerned.  Why isn't my dr.?  Anybody else deal with this?
