How do you treat Addisons Disease when we arnt suppossed to take cortisone? And what about weight gain as a side effect of the meds?

I haven't heard of this being a possible side effect to vsg, however if you already have Addison's then it very well could be something that could prevent you from receiving vsg. Hopefully this was just a question and not a reality for you. Good luck!

Did you have a low cortizole test ? Or is this something that was knewly discovered? I interested in this because my first test was low & now I have to do a repeat test. :/ I really want this surgey & hope this wont put up a road block.

Why are we not supposed to take cortisone?

No clue . I never have just tested low two times.

I had gastric bypass in 2005. I was just diagnosed in January of 2014 with Addisons disease which is why I keep having hypoglycemic attachs (my blood sugar drops as low as 42). I was told by an endocrinologist that it is from having the surgery.

Sorry I forgot to mention that they put me on hydrocort. I was told I will die if I don't take it. Yes I have gained 20 pounds back but I am still trying. My problem is when I have glycimic attacks I have to eat or drink something sweet.
