I actually didn’t even think sleeve patients got it, but I have been having these ‘episodes’ from about 5 months post op, was told IBS but not even the diet for that is helping me. When I spoke to my surgeon he told me dumping syndrome so I was shocked! I get both the early type and the late type...

Hi! Yes sleeved here and am experiencing all that you said above... not fun! I had absolutely no idea that sleeve patients can get dumping syndrome I always thought it was in RNY... I was diagnosed with IBS just less then a year out from my surgery and last week when I had to speak to my surgeon about a seperate issue, I mentioned my IBS and he said it sounds like dumping syndrome, nothing more was said about it so I don’t know what needs to be done, he’s away on leave currently but really want to speak to him about it and how to deal with it... why is it hard to manage? Do you get it often?

Hi! I’m very similar to you, since my surgery I have had so many health issues and the way you describe not feeling ‘present’ is exactly how I would describe how I feel... I’ve seen doctor after doctor, had blood test after blood test and in the end they said I have mental health issues - mind you, all this has happened since my surgery. Sometimes I find it so hard to explain how I feel but I just don’t feel ok if that makes sense... my mind feels foggy and heavy, I feel like if someone touches me softly I’ll fall over like I’m swaying on a tight rope kind of feeling... my chest is often tight and heavy like I’m constantly panicking...

Hey! How are you feeling now? I’m going through something similar and it’s horrible!

Actually that’s one of my problems as well... I can do well all day but in the evenings when we are all settled down and the munchies come out I can’t help myself! And I’m not hungry it’s more of me just not wanting to be left out haha

I’m not sure what confused you... simply asking a question, isn’t that what these forums are for? I’m all alone here and thought what better place to ask about this then a place where possibly others have gone through it too.... as for imagining, I’m on a waitlist

I was 86kgs at my heaviest, I can’t remember my weight on day of surgery but it was less then that... I got down to 52kgs within 6 months after my surgery, at around the 12 month mark I started to regain. I now stay around the 58kgs mark, some days I’m 59 others I’m 57 lol But have been pretty stable around that weight for a while now. I’m 163cm tall.

Hey! So can anyone who experienced dumping with a sleeve and revised to bypass and also experienced dumping with that tell me if it felt different? I’m currently sleeved and just found out the IBS I was diagnosed with after my surgery isn’t IBS after all and it’s actually dumping syndrome! I didn’t think sleevers dump so I was shocked but it totally makes sense now... anyway due to my other issue with GERD, I may need revision surgery.... sooo I’m curious, I hear a lot about bypass and dumping and know that it’s personal and not all patients dump and if they do it may be different triggers for everyone but if you experienced dumping while sleeved then after bypass, is it the same? Was it worse?

Haha aw no! Do you find that you graze all day when you over eat or is it in the one sitting that you can over eat?

Hey! So I’m 4 years post op with gastric sleeve and I’ve just recently fallen ill... my symptoms are constant and not easing up with any medication. After GP appointments, specialists appointment and even a trip to the emergency department I finally decided to call my surgeon who thinks it may be a hiatal hernia or GERD. He said if it’s the hernia he can repair and if it’s GERD you will need to go ahead with the bypass... is this true?? I’m 163cm tall and 57kgs... I really really realllllly don’t want to get the bypass but I’m feeling so sick daily... has anyone experienced GERD after the sleeve??
