Friend 31,had gastric bypass nov. now fainting 2-3 times a week.5-20 mintues.had mri,cat,doc finds nothing.possible cause?

May be hypoglycemia: A possible cause is hypoglycemia. This is often relieved by an appropriate diet. A nutritionist with the bariatric surgery program is the first step. If the problem persists, it could represent pancreatic problems and will need an evaluation by the bariatric surgeon or a gastroenterologist.
