Please be very careful.  I am 39 months post RNY and been having the most severe problems since 10 months out. Now my symptoms totally bypass the early warning signs straight to seizures or insulin shock (reoccurring black outs). Following the rules  still no changes. Not exactly what any of us bargain for is it? All we wanted was a better life. Hope you are doing better than I am. Gods speed. 

 80 is not normal. Its subject to your doctors interpretation and education. Most arent as educated on the subject as they would have you to believe. You do not have to drop to 39 or 50 to experience hypogycemic seizures and blackouts also referred to as insulin shock. I know. I am living testamony to it all and have friends  that have it to who can back me up. Mine started less than a year out from my RNY. I am now 39 months out and my symptoms have gotten worse that I am considered disabled and am home bound  for the most part. I can count one my one hand how often I get out of the house and generally its not a pleasure trip. A doctors visit is never a pleasure trip.by the time I get back home and often before I get back home start having seizures, anxiety attacks  and blacikouts. Still no answers. Just sick and tired of being sick and tired.  So please anyone who is considering a weight loss procedurej reach and dont take anything for granted and that included your surgeons word. Your never fully informed. Just when you think you have all the information, research even more.  Get on other support groups  find out everything you can. I am not  attempting in anyway to talk any one out of having the procedure done. I have never walked in your shoes,  you have the final say. I am speaking the truth that I know of. Had I know what I was up against before I went ahead I can honestly say that I dont think I would do it over again. I sacrificed one form  of life for something worse.. Not everyone has problems at least not right away. You could be 10 years out an find out differently. God speed to everyone. I pray what ever you decide you stay healthy and safe. 

I have the same symptoms. I cannot eat more than 4 carbohydrates without a spike and then crash. The blood sugar swing causes severe headaches and migraines. My endo wants me to take insulin but I find that the timing of the insulin action and my digestion (RNY2006) don't match up and I get crazy blood sugar results when I try to use the humalog. My endo won't let me take precose because he says I am malnourished already. Four carbs is nothing. I never eat starches or fruit or vegetables. Just cheese, protein and low carb yogurt. Sometimes I will spike with even 4 carbs. I keep losing weight, 102 now, and the less I weigh the fewer carbs it takes to spike my blood sugar. I am seriously considering a takedown (reversal). My surgeon is confident she can do it. I wish I knew of someone who had a takedown for this and if it helped. I wrote that endo at Joslin three weeks ago, but haven't gotten a response and am very discouraged. Has anyone heard of reversal as a treatment for this problem?

How are you doing?  I've been thinking about you as I know your date is coming up.  I'm thinking of you and praying that all goes well.  These days before surgery seem to drag.....I can't believe I'm at 4.5 weeks out.  I never thought the day would come!!

Wow, Thanks for the replies. I actually have had my blood sugars level out. Things are better. My weight loss not so. Makes me sad, but yet I am happy where I am at. Will still try to get to maybe 135. I do exercise. I have been walking about 2 miles a day. I did start late on my exercising, did start until maybe 6 mos out. My log my food everyday. I am averaging 1100-1200 calories a day. Ok by my surgeon. He is ok with my weight loss.
My insulin levels went from 90-100 units a day to now 25. I do not bolus for meals, if I do my sugar drops horribly.
Deltadawn, I am jealous, you are doing great. Your weight loss is better than mine and your insulin levels are just great. Good job. I have been trying hard not to compare my loss to others as it will just depress me. I am doing everything my surgeon recommends and eating very healthy. So, will try and be happy for what I have and keep trying.
funkyphillygirl, when we exercise it does will play with our levels. you may want to try and have some protein before you exercise to see if that would help with the lows. Good luck to you.
Thanks to the both of you for responding to me. I thought I was all alone in this world and no one liked me
