You may not be selec: Before committing you for surgery , the team will do lots of tests, . If you are getting hypoglycemic work up will be done, like islet cell tumors that produce Insulin that causes hypoglycemia and other possibilities, speak to your doctor.

Yes. Likely a sleeve: The hypoglycemia would likely make a gastric bypass unfavorable since some bypass patients suffer from dumping, which is actually hypoglycemia. However, the sleeve would be a good option for you.
