I had the same issue when I started my pre-op liquid diet. Consult your doctor. If you are on diabetic meds already, they will want to make an adjustment. But the bottom line is consult your doctor, that's what you are paying them for.

I also had hypoglycemia and was concerned about having surgery. My surgeon explained everything to me and assured me that it would be fine and I have not had a problem with low blood sugar since surgery. I am a month post op from having a sleeve gastrectomy and feel great. Maybe it is all the protein that I drink. I agree with the prior post though and consult your surgeon so you are 100% comfortable with your decision. Good Luck!!

I am also hypoglycemic, and I have to tell you I get a lot more reactions now than I used to. Your Doc may want to try a different procedure on you because of it. Be sure to talk to him or her about this it's important. Once you have the surgery it's too late. I wish I had done another procedure because of it. Hope this helps.
