I been having a lot of symptoms and I don't know what's wrong nor do the doctors. It started about a month ago. Let's start by saying I had the y bypass surgery for weight loss surgery back in August 2023. Well the last month has been terrible. My blood sugar has been reaching high 400's but been told it's normal for people that has had weight surgery but that's not all that's been going on. I have migraines everyday my leg bones and arm bones hurt, including sharp pain and feels like electric pain in my limbs and I have had swelling in my hands, face, eyes. I a lso have sharp pain in my right side of mt stomach and groin. I have also stop driving because I either have been falling asleep or having some sort if passing out, I'm not sure of which. When I sleep at home I wake up every hour. Sometimes I can go back to sleep, sometimes it takes a couple of hours. I have blurry vision a lot. I feel exhausted all the time. I don't know what's going on and I feel. like nobody will listen to me. And there's more symptoms. My face and head feel hot all the time but I'm not running a fever. My legs hurt so bad I walk with a limp, every time I eat or drink I feel like throwing up after a couple of bites or drink, my mouth burns when I eat, drink, or brush my teeth. I glands hurt in my neck, by my jaw, and feel like they are swollen

Your pancreas controls blood sugar by releasing insulin naturally. Either you have an imbalance of enzymes in your gut needing good bacteria or you have an issue with your pancreas. I am not a dr but as my blood sugar was slightly high, I changed diet and lost weight. I am 6’ 3” tall and not easy to do. But a simple test at my General Practitioner office (Full Lab Equipment) my “A1C” was down and considered normal & glucose levels are consistently 92-110 max. Do some online research and get into your Dr soon. Write it down to remember what to discuss and ask questions about your issues. For some reasons dr’s talk less and less in today’s world.
Enjoy the holidays!

Here is what I found performing an AI search on side effects of your procedure. I am sorry you’re going through this.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery has many potential side effects, including:
Digestive issues: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping
Dumping syndrome: A condition that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flushing, lightheadedness, and a fast heartbeat after eating
Nutritional deficiencies: Low levels of iron, calcium, vitamins, and protein
Hernias: Dangerous internal hernias or hernias at the port sites
Bowel obstruction: A blockage in the intestines
Gallstones: A condition that requires surgery to remove the gallbladder
Ulcers: A potential complication
Bleeding, infection, and blood clots: Possible side effects that may occur after any surgery
Breathing problems: General anesthesia may cause breathing problems or other reactions
Leaks: Stomach pouch or Roux limb leaks can occur, and symptoms usually appear about three days after surgery
Weight regain: If you snack on high-calorie foods and don't exercise, you may regain weight
Loss of too much weight too quickly: This can cause sagging skin that may need to be removed surgically

The risk of complications is higher if you don't follow post-surgery instructions and lifestyle adjustments. Complications can rarely be fatal.
It’s a shame you missed the curve on the new weight loss drugs widely available before your procedure. Good luck on finding as answer.
