WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
NIPHS
I posted this on the Main Board, but I wanted to share here as well. My Mom is very freaked by my hypoglycemia (she's an rn) so she's been doing a "little research" bless her heart, I am hoping to keep it under control by diet, but it is good to know there are other solutions if necessary.

NIPHS
Mayo Clinic physicians have recognized and reported on a seemingly rare but serious complication following gastric bypass called NIPHS (non-insulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome) or post-bariatric surgery hypoglycemia. After a person eats, this condition can result in very low blood sugar levels that lead to severe neurologic symptoms, including visual disturbances, confusion and (rarely) seizures.
Mayo physicians in Minnesota have evaluated and treated several patients with NIPHS. When medical and diet therapies do not work, surgical removal of part of the pancreas has resulted in marked improvement of symptoms for most patients. If the symptoms described above occur, patients should notify their physician immediately. Until this condition is controlled, patients should avoid driving motorized vehicles or performing tasks that could affect the safety of those around them.

I think I should have titled it differently on the main Board to get more readers ....LOL And JE you are so right this gives us an opportunity to care for our OWN healh, something in the last few years I've become an avid proponent of.
PS Give me some good titles and I'll repost it on the main board .....C'mon it'll be fun. ^_^*
