Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 It's the sugar going thru your pouch that would make you " dump " , as far as heart palpitations, etc. The " crisis " occurs when the sugar hits the new intestinal connection. So, veins don't count. Why wear a medic alert? Well for me, I don't want to be hurt at the scene of an accident, but the last thing I want is to end up in surgery for an accident and have some bozo put m e all back together again! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! m IV Fluids Hi again group, I was wondering about something. I've been reading everyone's posts about certain medication they are on for fibro...I'm assuming fibromyalgia (spelling), and for other illnesses. Did you all have these illnesses before surgery or after surgery? Also, if our bodies can't handle sugar after surgery, and if I happened to be taken to the hospital by ambulance or something, and if they gave me IV fluids, which have sugar in them I believe, what would happen? I mean does anyone wear an ID alert bracelet to alert medical personnel of your surgery? And other than to alert them of a possible sugar intolerance, why does one wear them? And does anyone need to wear one? Thanks again. Barb Consult 10-7/02 Waiting for insurance approval Barb Beilfuss love2stamp@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 I think hospitals use and IV Saline solution. But I wouldn't worry, because if they were using sugar in an IV solution, it would affect us the same way as it would anyone else - the problems we have with sugar are at the digestion phase in the stomach.
