Ok a few weeks ago I posted a topic about the Gastric Bypass. And I have been some problems with being hypoglycemic since I had it. Well I went and seen my endocrynologis (sp) today and got very bad news. Somewhere in my test results apparently shows something bad. I have to go to a specialist in about 2 weeks. Apparently my surgery really did a number on my pancreas. Enough for them to talk about removal icon_eek.gif . My symptoms were the same as dumping (I think) except the fact I have them even when I don't eat, and go into seisures. SO what I want you ALL to know is this is a very NEW condition that they are researching, that the Gastric Bypass can cause major problems, even more then they told you at the before you had it!!! I am glad I had mine. BUT.....to be thinking I might be insulin dependent???? I cried all the way home. With my DH saying we will get through this. If this will cure me of the days where I get up (or try to get up) out of bed and being sick so sick I can't function...or having my sugar drop to 29 for no reason then I guess I will be glad. I guess I just need to vent and maybe get some reassurance that I will be OK.....

Thank you for reading

thank you all for the support...Just had to get it off my chest..ya know you have to be strong around the kids..and at first when I heard it in the Drs. office this morning it really hit hard....Removal of my pancreas??? I am sitting here now, DH just went to work and I am so overwhelmed. You know..sometimes you just wanna say "Why me??" , I go this morning for some blood work then I think they are going to try to schedule a ultrasound of my pancreas on Monday (all this right in the middle of 2 sheetcakes and a 1/2 8o )
Big hugs right back at you all! Thanks for the prayers and thoughtful comments I will keep you informed of what I find out. Until then, I'm gonna keep baking or try anyways LOL

Thank you !!!

bit of humor here...anybody know where I can get a pink insulin pump, I wanna be stylish anyways if I have to wear one LOL
