after there surgery RYGB

THANK'S

I had this with my RNY, but it seems to somewhat resolved itself since I had my revision surgery.  We expected it to be worse, but I am pleasantly surprised that I am doing better. 

can you explain to me what's is a revision surgery ?

they reverse your bypass?

Hi i have these issues and was wondering what type of revision surgery you had?

Hi Misty,

I haven't been on this site in over a year.  I had a revision surgery in 2008 to an Extended Roux-n-y procedure.  I became very malnourished and had to have it revised again to a Distal RNY.  I still have symptoms of hypoglycemia and I haven't had a lot of them recently.  I am over 8 years out and they have improved.  My new bariatric doctor is concerned about them as he is very in tune to the affects of the pancreas putting out too much insulin, so I have to kind of keep an eye on them and let him know about how often they happen.  I should be testing the blood sugar levels, but no dr. want to prescribe the testing strips for me.  Hope you are doing ok.  I will respond if you have questions.

Thanks so much trying to find out what my options are. I have severe dumping with reactive hypo. I can eat and veggies and some nuts. I'm almost 7 yrs out and miserable. Im 32 and looking for any advice I can get. Thank you for your reply.

What was diagnosed was that I had an enlarged stoma.  With the revision it was decided not to revise my pouch, but to bypass more of the intestines, which now makes me an Extended RNY.  This also causes major malabsorption.  We were expecting that when I was bypassed more that I would have more reactive hypoglycemic incidents.  So far, I haven't had this problem as I have to get 100-150gm of protein a day.  That does help to stabalize the blood sugars.  Hopefully this helps.

My endocrinologist said their was a medication that helps, but since mine wasn't an everyday occurance, he wasn't going to prescribe anything.  I don't recall the name of the medication either.
 

what did you have before ... reactive hyper hypo ?

or

dumping ?

Reactive hypo for the most part, when I would take blood sugars they would be in the 30's

I also have dumping symptoms as well.  Heart beating fast, faint, sweats, etc. 

Do you have any  idea if your pancreas was doing to much insuline..

your doctor have test your insulin level ?
