Can anyone tell me if this will work...Has anyone had this done to get rid of Reactive hypo?? I am at my wits end and the more I research it seems that this maybe a option to rid myself of RH and get my LIFE BACK!!! Please any info would be great Overall, I had gained a fair amount of my weight back...lost and regained several times. My diabetes and hypertension had worsened significantly, and then there was the RH.
There are only a few skilled surgeons in the country who do RNY to DS revisions. Check out the list of vetted surgeon on DSFacts.com. You could contact the offices and get a consult about your situation.
Edit: the following surgeons are doing revision: Rabkin, Keshishian, Greenbaum ,Roslin and Gagner. There may be a couple more up and coming.

Yes I have very BAD dumping in fact that confused my diagnosis of RH because all doctors felt it was cardiac in nature as I would weak,sweat,dizzy and have heart palpatations along with running to bathroom.. My doctor actully tested for Carcinoid Cancer severial times as he felt that I had that until I was refeared to endo and he was able to do further testing I found out with a modified GTT that I had Reactive Hypoglycemia ... My endo actully only has three other patients with RH ...I am on Byetta injections in which have been the only thing that has made my life even livable and kept my blood sugars around 80's ..but even on byetta I struggle on a daily basis ..There is no making sense of this condition as I am very careful in what I eat and make my meals balanced with fat/protein/good carbs but one handful of cherries for dessert dropped me to 30 just yesterday... I am scared as I have two children and can not risk going low when I am taking care of or driving them to sports events..I just want my life back!!
