[web 4] One study reported on a female post-operative gastric bypass patient who was consuming eight to ten 32 oz. glasses of ice a day. The patient's blood test revealed iron levels of 2.3 mmol/L and hemoglobin level of 5.83 mmol/L. Normal iron blood levels of adult women are 30 to 126 μg/dL and normal hemoglobin levels are 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL.
Gastroparesis is suspected in patients who have abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or bloating, or when these symptoms occur after eating. Once an upper endoscopy has been performed to exclude peptic ulcer disease or gastric outlet obstruction as the root of their symptoms, those patients should be tested for gastroparesis.

Untreated or under-treated hormonal disorders such as adrenal insufficiency (see also Addison's disease [11]) or growth hormone deficiency [12] can therefore sometimes cause insulin hypersensitivity, and reactive hypoglycemia. Stomach bypass surgery or hereditary fructose intolerance are believed to be causes, albeit uncommon, of reactive ...

Individuals typically express the pain as a dull ache by clenching their fists over the epigastrium (Levine sign). [3] Sometimes people may reduce their caloric intake in an attempt to decrease pain which can lead to weight loss.
The procedure is normally performed laparoscopically, though in a small minority of instances prior surgery may have resulted in extensive scarring, [6] requiring open surgery. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a commonly chosen revision technique, [7] particularly in patients who have not been successful in meeting their weight loss goals after ...
