Reactive Hypoglycaemia

I spoke with my surgeon today about some weird symptoms I have had since surgery.

I have only experienced about 3-4 episodes of it since having surgery, but it tends to happen if I haven't eaten for a substantial amount of time (like nothing until 2/3pm).

The following happens:

  • shaking
  • light headedness
  • dizziness
  • sweating
  • anxiety
  • palpitations
  • pale presentation of skin
  • weakness
  • disorientation

He has suggested that I have reactive hypoglycaemia - has anyone else experienced this? I have heard it is quite common after bariatric surgery
