Hi gang,

I am 22 months post gastric bypass and have lost about 80 pounds. I am at goal weight. On the 13th of April my husband came home to find me unconcious, foaming at the mouth and making strange loud breathing noises. He called 911 and the EMT's found my sugar level to be 22, my temperature 91 degrees and my BP quite low. They gave me some Glucogon and took me to the ER. I was soaked with perspiration. At the ER for about 5 hours, my blood glucose stabilized and with the aid of a warming blanket, my temp and BP came up back to normal. They did some urine and blood tests but only found a UTI. My internest said that I had a seizure and did some tests which all came back normal. She sent me to an Endocrinologist who said I have rebound hypoglycemia and gave me a glucometer. (I have never been diabetic) I had a CT of the abdomen and tests to see if my adrenal glands were functioning properly and both tests checked out fine. I had a GTT on Friday and should get the results today. The doctor thinks I am both hypoglycemic and diabetic.

Since monitoring my blood, it has been as low as 44 after eating and a high of 227 after my evening meal. I don't know for how long my glucose has been so off the charts but I do know that I have felt confused and lethargic for months now.

Does anyone else have this problem?
