Hypo or hyperglycemic?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have the symptoms of either one since being sleeved? Im a little over 3 mths out and it's one thing after another. Very unhappy so far.. But mostly blurred vision and very shakey after I eat or don't eat, and very fatigued after I eat. The blurred vision is driving me crazy. I keep having to go to the doctor and it's stressing me out financially because I don't have insurance anymore. Anyone relate to my symptoms?

Yikes. That sounds terrible. I don't currently experience either hypo nor hyper glycemic issues. I have a friend who had roux-en-y surgery and she is having terrible light headedness from low blood sugar. Her doc wants her to refocus on eating plenty of Protein and eating it first (going back to her early ways again now that she is several years post surgery). He is hopeful that it will "fix" her.

I have seen a big drop in my blood glucose. I was running about 99 for fasting glucose prior to surgery. I now run about 84 not even fasting. I am surprised by the "improvement" as my doc said he doesn't see improvements to "normal fasting blood sugars. I wonder if I may start having hypoglycemic issues with time.

Hang in there. I am sure there will be a fix. Do you qualify for Obamacare health insurance? I'd love to see you get good care for your medical issues.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
