Hypoglycemia

[emymartin 0]

I got sleeved two years ago but the last month I felt like abnormal hunger feeling I was and still really hungry all the time so I went to my doctor and he ask me to do insulin interval which show that I have Hypoglycemia and that's I'm feeling hungry but actually he told me that he doesn't have treatment for this and he didn't give me diet that fits my case and he gave me a hint that my surgery has been botched but really I'm not sure of this so has anyone has this case and is there any treatment or what was your experience ?

It sounds like (non expert, non doctor here) that it may be reactive hypoglycemia, which is fairly common in the bypass world, as it is a result of rapid stomach emptying due to the lack of pyloric valve in that procedure, causes an insulin spike followed by low blood sugar triggering hunger. With the sleeve, we can also experience somewhat rapid emptying due to our small stomach size. DIfferent foods affect this, too - the so-called "slider" foods that slide on through because they don't trigger the pyloric valve to close, typically highly processed carbohydrates.

If this is what is going on, try sticking to meats and high Fiber vegetables that tend to stay in the stomach longer and see if that helps. If it is not RH, then an endrocinologist may be in order to see what is going on with this imbalance. Whether or not your sleeve was botched, you should check with a bariatric surgeon to evaluate this - if you go to your original surgeon, a second opinion from another may be in order to verify whether or not it was "botched" (would the original doc really admit that he goofed?)

good luck in working this out,
