Topic: RE: Gastric bypass hypoglycemia

So, your gastric bypass menu board (RNY) will likely contain specialized food items, the specifics of your condition, and your health requirements.

Topic: RE: Gastric bypass hypoglycemia

Your condition is the basis for life to change after gastric surgery. Regulating blood glucose levels plays a key role in overall health, and postprandial hypoglycemia is a serious complication. Your efforts to bring attention to the problem, especially in the case of ten types of insurance, are necessary to maintain health and wellness.

Topic: Interesting Medical Journal Study - WLS & Interpersonal Relationships

I just happened to run across this medical journal article earlier today. We have all seen talk on here as to WLS, despite the great positive physical effects it produces for us, promoting post-op divorces and other disruptions to our social lives. Interesting conclusion (and kind of predictable), but I won't be a "spoiler" here and instead let you read it for yourself.

Hi. I also have a lot of scar tissue from my initial surgery...leading to a medically emergent revision, (which of course led to more scar tissue), surgery to treat complications from the adhesions and my GI tract spasms led to medication from GI. My surgeon suggested deep massage to help "break up" some adhesions but sometimes medical assistance is necessary because it can cause obstructions and even tissue death in the GI tract. Try to avoid surgery if you are prone to scarring but sometimes you just have to find a good treatment team and keep researching. Sorry I am not much help. Do you have a GI or general surgeon "team". What sort of follow up from E.R visits have you had?

Topic: RE: Adhesions and Scar tissue

I'm sorry, I wish I could help. I've never had those issues at all. I know they happen, but aren't common. Try searching older posts, and I'm sure you'll see discussions about it.

Have you seen multiple doctors over the years? An opinion from another doctor might help.
