Roux en y and Hypoglycemia

[ladiebug222]

I am thinking about having a roux en y procedure done in the near future but am hypoglycemic. Lately, I have been hearing of a few people that are having worse low blood sugar symptoms post op. Can anyone comment on why this might happen and what you can do to alleviate the problem?
Most gratefully,
PS

I had this procedure and have had excellent results. I feel great and went back to work in two weeks. You simply need to stay away from simple sugars. They are bad for you any way. I still eat plenty of fresh fruit and use splenda or nutrasweet. I had a smoothie from smoothie king and just had them add a small amt of honey to my high protein drink. I recommend this surgical procedure for anyone over 50 to 100 pounds overweight. The sugar issue is an easily resovable problem. Make sure your surgeon measures your intestines in the "Ozment method" and has done many of these procedures before you!
