To all less-endowed gals I'd advise:
It's no use to obsess about size.
Yes, your A-cups can please.

The Decalogue, given to Moses
By Jehovah, was no bed of roses.
It made moral demands,
And today it still stands,
Though it's often ignored, one supposes.

Topic: RE: Attention Far outs...?

Feeling like rat **** after eating carbs can be caused by reactive hypoglycemia.

When the glucose from the carb****s the intestines, the pancreas dumps lots of insulin, which causes a large drop in your blood sugar.  And this makes you feel weak, trimbley, and ultra tired.

You might try reducing the amount of carbs you take in at one time until the symptoms go away.  Eventually you will find how many carbs you can consume at a sitting.

Good luck, and hugs,

Topic: RE: Anyone from Colorado, looking for Surgeon (Denver,Boulder)

The Reverend Dr. Metz did my sleeve over 3 years ago, when I was 71 1/2 years old.  I am a Kaiser patient, and all follow-up has been done by Kaiser, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Metz for WLS surgery.

He has a great sense of humor (important to me), and came in to see me post-op in the hospital to switch my meds for the nausea I was having.  My surgery was done at St. Lukes, and I was admiited and discharged in 36 hours.

I urge you to consider him if you are getting the sleeve.  I believe he also does the Lapband and RNY.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or if I can help in any way.

Good luck,

Fred

What you are experiencing is "reactive hypoglycemia", which is fairly common in WLS patients.

You can Google it.

Had my VSG in October '08 at 71 1/2 years old with Kaiser in Denver.

Love the results, and attend the post-op support meetings every month.

Hope you have my success, and hugs,

Topic: RE: Two questions for sleevers

Almost any kind of high carb intake (not just sugar) can cause a condition known as "reactive hypoglycemia" (google it).  Similar to the dumping syndrome experienced by some RNYers.

If anyone queries you about the surgery, just tell them you're having a sex change operation, that usually shuts them up!

Good luck, and hugs,

Fred

Whether constant or just episodic,
If your bowel sounds aren't melodic,
And you sometimes will howl
From a cramp, and cry foul,
What you need is an antispasmodic!
