Had the 2 hr GTT with 75 grams glucose today and it was horrible! The only reason I went for the test is I had gone back and forth with my DR and felt, after my last apt, that he was implying something could go wrong if I didn't have it done. He made me feel like it would be fine because he has treated 6 (oh ya a whole 6) post WLS patients and none of them had any problems with the test. Now I feel like that has got to be wrong because I have never dumped so bad. I threw up after 10 minutes (only a few teaspoons so they said its ok) my heart raced for a hour, I was sweating, had the chills, and was too dizzy to stand. It passed by the time the 2 hr mark hit, but man was it brutal. Especially sitting in a lab full of people when I just wanted to be alone in bed. My advice don't do it find a different solution
