My issue was almost a mirror of many after a Gastric bypass. My sugar levels would go to 350+- and then crash to 30. I suffer from severe headaches due to the sugar swings. My Dr, Dr Lakshimi Pasumarthy in York, Pa, diagnosed the rare conditiom of adult Nesdioblastosis. I had an arterial calcium test which "mapped" the pancreas to identify where the most insulin was being produced. After being on the table for about 12 hours, I was left with 1/3 of my Pancreas. Since the operation, I no longer have the crashes but still get spikes after injesting food. The resulting sugar spikes varies from day to day so I can not take insulin prior to eating. The best eating schedule I have developed to minimize the effects, is to eat 6 or 7 "small"meals per day. Since the surgery, the sugar is manageable but I must be constantly vigilent during meal times.
Besides the Neswdioblastosis, I defveloped 2 hernias that had to be operated on and a surgical mesh was inserted. I am now faceing another surgery in 3 weeks to remove the mesh because it has become infected.
The "new" condition is deteriorating Peripheral Neuropathy, which has put me in a wheelchair and basically home bound. Question: Has anyone contrated any kind of Neurological condition after a Gastric Bypass?
