Treating Hypoglycemia Post Op

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am interested in finding out what, if any,

protocols are used for treating hypoglycemia post op gastric bypass. We have a surgeon who only wants to use

D50 instead of an oral gel or glucose tabs. His concern is dumping syndrome

which I understand, but if the blood glucose is low, would 15 grams of oral CHO

cause a dumping syndrome? I would

really appreciate the expertise of this group to explain this to me.

Thanks,

Nadine
