At Mega Doctor News, we’re committed to bringing you the stories that matter most to your health, your family, and your community. In this edition, we are proud to feature an in-depth look at a hidden yet impactful health concern— hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery. This condition, though often overlooked, affects many individuals who have undergone weight-loss surgery and are working hard to reclaim their health. We invite you to turn the page and dive into this informative and eye-opening feature.

Our story centers around Dr. Marcel Twahirwa, the Medical Director at DHR Health Diabetes and Endocrinology Institute in Edinburg, Texas. Dr. Twahirwa is more than an expert in endocrinology— he is a passionate advocate for patients and a leader in our community. He has spent decades helping individuals understand and manage complex health issues like diabetes and metabolic disorders. His perspective on post-bariatric hypoglycemia is both thoughtful and rooted in clinical experience.

Dr. Twahirwa’s journey began in Mexico, where he completed his medical training, followed by a residency in internal medicine in New York City. He later earned a fellowship in Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania. Today, his work in South Texas stands as a model of compassion and excellence in care, particularly for populations that are often underserved or unaware of emerging complications like this one.
