Hi everyone. Hope all is well and everyone is well on their way to looking and feeling great. So I'm 5 days PO and I've been checking my sugars everyday. They are measuring high (highest has been 194). This morning my sugar was at 166. Has anyone experienced high sugar levels after gastric sleeve surgery? Any advice? I reached out to my doc's office and I'm currently waiting for a call back, but just wondering if anyone has had this issue.

I had high sugars the first three weeks PO and then my sugar dropped to 105 and then under 100 there after - consistently. I stopped checking about 3 weeks ago. I'm 8 weeks PO (gastric bypass). My doctor explained it to me as my body adjusting and healing. I was worried at first but they were correct. My sugars dropped and I'm feeling great. Give yourself a little time, I understand it is hard not to be concerned though, because it's a lingering concern from before and something we were always told to watch. They took me off all medicine immediately after surgery and I haven't had to take anything other than my thyroid and multivitamin.

Wow that's awesome. Thank you for responding so quickly. You helped put my mind at ease. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Your body goes into shock after the surgery & a lot of the hormones that regulate certain functions go haywire making your levels go up or down. Then some hormones, like oestrogen, are stored in your fat & as you lose weight they are released into your blood stream & cause issues like mess up your menstrual cycle. You may find your cholesterol goes up too & your liver function is off too. They all settle eventually & many, like your sugar & cholesterol, will be much lower.
