That's funny because my surgeon just called mE back and yes you can get dumping with the lapband and he said that's exactly what I had happen

Then you are the 1% that have some issue with your intestines, because dumping is is not a symptom of Lap Band. This is directly from the makers of Lap Band:

"Dumping syndrome occurs when sugar enters the lower intestine too quickly, resulting in cramps, sweating, rapid heart rate, and diarrhea. Dumping syndrome can occur with gastric bypass surgery, but not with LAP-BAND® because the stomach has not been bypassed and intestines have not been significantly altered."

sorry , but that is 100% incorrect

please get your facts straight before some prebies or newbies actually believe some of the stuff you have been posting.:

No Dumping Syndrome with the LAP-BAND®

Rapid gastric emptying, or dumping syndrome, often occurs with gastric bypass surgery but not with LAP-BAND® Surgery. Dumping syndrome, an intolerance of sugars and some carbohydrates, happens when concentrated and undigested foods such as sweets enter the lower intestine (jejunum) too quickly. Symptoms of dumping include nausea, vomiting, cramping, dizziness, and weakness. Dumping syndrome does not occur with LAP-BAND®, but it is still best to avoid sweets in order to maximize weight loss and the nutritional value of your diet.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
