Seizures

Hello! I'm am almost 7 years out having my Open RNY on 4/23/2004. I am 6 feet tall and once weighed 320 lbs and now weigh 165. I'm pleased that I have maintained my weight within 10 pounds over all these years. BUT....3 weeks ago, I had a a Grand Mal SEIZURE! This was my first and only seizure. I don't have a family history of seizures either. Since being hospitalized and still doing numerous tests through an endocrinologist and dietician which includes having my Blood Glucose levels tested for 5 days having a monitor implanted in me and also testing my hormones. I had a normal EKG, MRI & CT scan yet an abnormal EEG. I recently had a sleep deprived EEG and will find out the results next week. I've been learning about Reactive Hypoglycemia and some resulting in seizures. I have lost my drivers license for 6 months because of this seizure! Has anyone else experiences seizures after their surgery? What have you learned? What advice can you give me to learn more about this? Are there experts in this field? Are there any studies out there? Thanks so much - this has been consuming my life.
