I posted this in preop but I guess it would be a postop question?

i thought in the class I went to they discussed removal of the part of the stomach that causes hunger pains? But I hear people saying they are still hungry. Is it head hunger you are experiencing or real hunger?

I am a type 2 diabetic when mine starts to get low I feel a strangeness in my stomach like a wave I get jittery and faint like I also start to talk weird " family says" I can not concentrate or focus on anything. It's almost like a panic attack somewhat just very weird and then when I eat or drink something and it goes back to normal I feel wiped up the rest of the day.

It's not a good feeling and can be scary

Sorry old hippie....i sure hope this surgery helps you get past the diabetes....that was once of the main reasons i decided to have it..my brother now had type 2 and is having so many health problems..my dad died at 60 due to diabetes and heart....i fought long and hard thru cancer treatment and I was not about to survive that just to have try to live with with high bp and diabetes...being older (49) than many on here I see my weight coming off slower than most but that's ok as long as its coming off...

Your sugar may have been low. With our surgery we have to be prepared just like a diaper bag is for a baby when we go out. Bring a snack and a bottle of Water in our purses

Thank you!

Thanks for the comment, i am 56 so i know what you mean. I have had diabetes for 10 yrs one of the many reasons i had the surgery. I hope next month they take me off the metformin because spmetimes it makes my sugar to low.my biggest concern is just getting the Protein and Fluid in.
