Warning to anyone considering this procedure. New cases of low blood sugar drops have been becoming common among people with this and any bariatric surgery. Within several months of my Nissan I started passing out and ending up in the hospital. No one could figure out what was causing it and diagnosed me as diabetic. With an A1c of 5.4 I wasn’t diabetic. Finally a doctor here in Cincinnati I went to had been reading studies of this occurring. This surgery causes the pancreas to overreact and pour insulin in after a meal. Then you have a quick low blood sugar drop. There is medication to help called Acarabose but the side effects are just as bad as acid reflux. And I still have acid reflux. Wish I had never had this done and that the doctor just work with me on diet and exercise changes.

I am so sorry to hear about this horrible outcome after this surgery. I have a female friend who is 75 years old and just had this surgery at NYU Corneill in New York City. Its been only 2 weeks, I pray she doesn't have complications. I have a mild hiatal hernia after years of lifting and moving heavy things. The most recent a 400 lb ping pong table after delivery at my daughters home into the garage, so my grandchildren wouldn't see it when they got off the bus after school. Sorry for the story. I am 67 years old and have done alot of heavy lifting over the years. So now my body is showing wear and tear. I have read about many things happening and going wrong with this surgery. I will live with it and not have surgery. I will not do any heavy lifting, exercise and watch what I eat.
I send my prayers to you, a hug and hope your physician can help you without any more surgeries.
Take care.
