I'm 9 months out and feeling great have lost 84 pounds and am so happy I did the surgery but last night I went to sleep early and woke up with my heart racing, sweating like a demon, dizzy with my mind fuzzy and all I wanted to do was eat. I reached into the fridge and started devouring a piece of chicken....I think I had low blood surgar and this has not happened to me ever in the past. I feel absolutely terrible this morning and just want to sleep. My entire body aches!!!! OMG!

As I diabetic I am very familiar with low blood sugar in the middle of the night. It sounds like it could have been that, but a better choice would be to buy some glucose tablets (Walmart sells them around the pharmacy area) and keep them by your bed. A couple of them and within minutes you will start to feel better.

Wow I never hear of that. Did you felt any better after eating? You should get your sugar check for sure.

Just an FYI...this can also be a thyroid problem and/or hormone related. I have hypo-thyroidism and before I was diagnosed I would experience similar episodes. It might be worth a doctor's visit.

Wow...never heard of this before...please keep us posted I would love to hear more about this possible side effect.

I had pre diabetic disposition before the surgery so I think it might be hypoglycemia setting in....thanks for the info about the glucose tablets...we don't have a walmart here (I live in Dubai) but I will see if they are available in the pharmacy. It was scary and I still feel terrible it's like I have a hangover. I definately need to visit the doctor and have my levels checked.

Hypoglycemia just doesn't happen to people who are not diabetic and on meds. The liver stores glycogen which is released into the blood when there is insufficient amount of sugars taken in through diet. It's the bodies way of supplying the brain with glucose. Without glucose the brain cannot function. Healthy people with normal metabolism should not be having hypoglycemic episodes. Diabetics have hypoglycemic episodes when they overuse insulin or don't eat enough to cover the effects of the pills.
