Had my first dumping incident yesterday! Ive been perfect on my diet, liquid stage, day six, and i went for a decaf coffee with a friend yesterday. I put creamer in my coffee......... Omg! No more creamer for me for awhile! I was running to the restroom the entire day and the world federation was rumbling in my stomach! That was tiring. This morning i am fine. What the heck! When the doc s aid low fat i guess he meant it!

Are you sure it was the creamer and not the coffee? I can have full fats w no problem, but decaf lipton tea sent me right to the bathroom.

Im scared of that happening to me. Im glad that you made light of it and found the humor. lol makes me feel better

I have decaf coffee all the time, but with non fat, non dairy creamer.....no issues.

I thought that with the sleeve we dont have dumping syndrome?! This is new to me.....

@grek79ltal my doctor warned me about it on one of my first visits! Ive been worried ever since. funny how your never did? did u get a folder with everything about before and after surgery? oh and by the way congrats on the weight loss!

Oh yes, my doctor warned me that i may have dumping, but i just didnt think it would happen from a liitle container of creamer in my coffee! Good thoughts about figuring exactly what it was. Ill have to try the decaf plain and see what happens.

I have notice it with foods high in sugar

Btw, thanks on the weight loss comment! It feels great!! Doesn't it?

I learned this was a a possibility at the informational seminar I attended.

Also, I think this article is a bit misleading. The physical description of our new stomachs in inaccurate so are the list of side effects. I doubt constant diarrhea is really a common side effect for sleevers. I did not care for this article at all.

I believe that dumping only pertains to Gastric Bypass WLS

could be wrong

i did make a mistake once, i thought i was wrong

In all my information I received, they said one of the "perks" to sleeve vs. the bypass was that there wasn't any dumping syndrome. However, when I had my 1 week post op follow up appt with a bariatric nurse, (who was sleeved a year ago), she told me she had a dumping incident from eating a very small amount of cookie dough. I had the same reaction as some here "I thought dumping syndrome didn't happen to sleevers?" She said that now that they're really tracking sleeve patients over the last 5 years or so, they are finding that it can happen. It's probably not as severe as bypass patients experience, but it can happen. Usually she said you get the sweats, and cramping in your stomach (maybe having to run to the bathroom included), and you just feel like you have to lay down. She said it lasts about 30-45 minutes, which is shorter then the bypass patient will experience.
