Hi All,

I was curious to know how many Sleevers develope some form of Dumping? I noticed of the past couple weeks ( I'm 5 weeks post-op) whenever I have a small bit of sugar or small bit of fat ( I can only eat 1/4 cup at a time) I get colicky cramps going accross the lower part of my stomach, diarrhrea, fatigue, hot flashes and sometimes heart palpitations. It does'nt happen all the time just sometimes..

Thanks,

Yvette

My post op binder says 10% of sleevers get dumping syndrome.

I am 1 month post op today and I definitely get dumping syndrome! My surgeon says that sleeves do get it but not as much as bypassers. If I eat something too fatty or even too greasy I spend the next 30-45 minutes so sick to my stomach that I wish I could throw up the food, accompanied with feeling like my body is in a sauna.. Hot and sweaty and over all it just sucks.

Most of the time if something is too sugary it just goes thru me w the cramps and diarrhea.

I've also experienced this about 4 or 5 times total since surgery.

Today I tried a new Protein drink in the morning (Boost Plus) and after only 1/4 of it I was already nauseous, shakey, hot, and sweaty. Not sure if it was the sugar content or the added calories from the "plus" part.

It is a horrible feeling and I hope the symptoms lessen a bit as time passes, but I have already learned a few foods that I will never try again.. And am probably better off without them!
