Okay guys! I’m new here, but I’m having a lot of concern with the diagnosis of gestational diabetes.

I’ll try to keep a long story short. Two years ago I had weight loss surgery. If you don’t know the ends and outs of it, basically you can say I’ve barely had any sugar at all in the last two years because it causes dumping syndrome, along with it defeats the purpose. I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant. I had my one hour test 2 weeks ago after I specifically asked not to be tested. Patients who have had weight loss surgery are not supposed to have the glucose drink due to dumping syndrome and the test results coming back incorrect. The county I currently live in is very uneducated about weight loss surgery, to the point that the hospital doesn’t even know what my surgery was or entails when I tell them I had it. My doctor too, is uneducated in this matter.

I fasted for the test, I wasn’t even allowed water. Once the drink hit my system I immediately was in the bathroom with diarrhea, and vomiting. I got hot clammy and nearly passed out while they drew my blood. My results came back as 140, the cutoff is 130. I’m now required to do the 3 hour test with a double dosage of this drink that is not even recommended for those of us who have had this surgery. And honestly, I’m terrified. I pass out all the time when I drink water or snack on nuts or some kind of protein every two hours (which is a requirement of the surgery). My calorie intake alone is only 500-700 calories a day (also a requirement of the surgery). So when my body fasts for any length of time, and for this test will be 8 hours, I’m going to pass out. There’s no doubt. Plus, I will once again have dumping syndrome and be in the bathroom for god only knows how long with diarrhea and vomiting. I’m nervous that again these tests results will come back incorrect and I’ll have a misdiagnoses that will require me to go on medicine and or shots. I’ve already had so many complications with this pregnancy due to baby being malnourished due to my food intake, since I’m only able to take 3oz in at a time, and he’s already measuring 4 weeks behind and is pretty much guaranteed to be a premie. As long as he’s healthy that’s all I care about, but I’m so nervous about putting some unnecessary in my body because no one is listening to my concerns. Any advice? What kind of symptoms have you had to know you have it? I’m tempted to have my surgeon call my Ob and explain in medical terms that this test is not as accurate when you’re body goes into dumping syndrome mode but I also don’t want my Ob to think I’m disrespecting him by calling my surgeon and voicing my concerns.
