    Paula, how do you know your blood sugar is low? Are you a type 1 diabetic using insulin or do you have an insulin-producing tumour of the pancreas? And when you say seizures, do you mean full-scale convulsions?

    If you haven't seen a doctor already you should see one as soon as possible. If necessary go to A&E/ER.

      Since writing that other post, I've noticed the heading of yours - which I somehow didn't see first time round. Of course, it will be the gastric bypass that's causing the problem. They should have told you that you have to eat small, frequent meals for life after this kind of op, to avoid going hypo.
