HYPOGLYCEMIA

On 1/9/2007, I had a Roux-en-Y.

I've done well in terms of my weight .. after having my surgery in Jan 07, I had lost 209lbs {going from 474 to 265 in less than a year} .. however, I passed out during my shower after my morning workout in the first week of Jan 08.  This began a series of health problems that put a halt to my loss ..

After months of confusion & mis-diagnosis, I found out that I was now HYPOGLYCEMIC...

I had always had the goal of getting down to 230lbs like I did back in 1992...  At 230lbs, I had a 31 inch waist...
 
However, with all of my health battles that began in Jan 08 & continues into the present .. I kept battling with the same 30 lbs or so over the course of 2008 & most of 2009..  up & down .. I could never break through the 265lb mark
 
Last August when work got so very ugly, I made up my mind that I'M GOING TO TAKE MY LIFE BACK .. I went to my sister's birthday celebration and marked it as my last day of misbehavior...  I weighed 297lbs on that day ...
 
Since that day, I have lost 44 lbs .. I weighed last week at 253lbs .. I am very pleased with myself because I have taken my time and changed my behavior over the long-term .. no diets .. I simply minimize & watch what i eat & I exercise when I can .. I only weigh once in the while .. I refuse to be obssessed with the scale ... 
 
 
So, I have a total loss of 221lbs so far .. check it, once I lose 237lbs, I will weigh 237lbs and I will have officially lost HALF of my starting weight of 474lbs...

Physically, I look great!  Current 36 inch waist down from a 62 inch waist.

Now, to the problem:
I am continually having complications with Hypoglycemia that my doctors have been unable to explain nor treat.  Regardless of a GOOD blood glucose level, my head is usually tired and exhausted.  I will wake in the morning & immediately feel like I have been studying for 18 hours.  My head is continually sleepy.  My body feels too exhausted to walk.  Everyday, I have to push through feeling miserable in order to have a daily life.

Doctors have drawn blood numerous times and the readings all come back as great.  They can not find anything wrong and meanwhile I am suffering! 

Has anyone experienced anything similar?
 
 

Melting Mama (also an RNYer) has been dealing with some similar-sounding issues. Check out her blog, maybe you can find something helpful on it: www.meltingmama.net.

 Yes.

I feel similar - I have hypoglycemia and some neuro issues... 

Are you passing out still?  Have you had EEG testing?
