sleepy after eating

I'm 3 1/2 yrs out. I get so sleepy after eating I have to go to bed for 20 or so minutes---each meal!
This is so ridiculous. Anyone else experience this.  Some days get real skaky too.  Seems like blood sugar drop...whatdayathink?   Considering a revision too. I've been approved.

I had the same problem before I was revised to the DS. I no longer have such problems.

How's your revision coming?  Loss? Who is doctor? Hospital?
Did you do it Lap way with DS?

Armenian?

I was actually not revised for weight loss, although I have lost the bit I gained. Here's my story.

In the US Dr. Keshishan and Rabkin are considered the best for this revision. If you want to go with Keshishian, you can contact him at www.dssurgery.com

Keshishian is in southern CA. Rabkin in northern CA. Many others have traveled for this revision.Keshishian does his revisions open.

This sounds exactly like my life.....eat/sleepy/eat/sleepy....diarhea.....eat////sleep/eat

How was open method for you?

I am in So. Cal. My dr. is in Arcadia. I can't understand why insurance has approved (I got letter) but drs office hasn't contacted me.  I don't have to pay another $1500 program fee if he does it. Does Dr. K charge program fee?  Where in So. Cal. is Dr. K?

My recovery was easy, but I had youth working for me (I'm 23).

Keshishian's program fee for revision is $4000. It is well worth it.

He is located in Glendale and Delano. If you go under the contact section of his page and fill out the info, they will contact you for a consult.

Wow 4000!  Yikes!!! That leaves me out...too bad. I am 60 so time is running out!
Thanks for info!!

It doesn't necessarily leave you out.  If I were you, I would go on the DS forum and ask about other surgeon's and their fees. In facts, I will ask this myself.

Yep---it seems reactive hypoglycamia is pretty common a couple of years or more after the RNY. Get yourself a glucosometer and test like crazy. Do a seach here at OH for RH---there are a LOT of people here with this problem.

You might also want to consider getting revised to either the Sleeve (restriction only) or the DS (Sleeve plus malabsorption). They would put your pylorus back into your digestive tract, which really does seem to help. Far fewer people develope RH after those procedures that preserve the pylorus.

RH and dumping both CAN happen to anyone, even people who've never had WLS, and ANY sort of surgery on the stoma*****reases your chances of having these issues. But getting your pylorus working again seems to help many people.

thanks
