Will the dumping end in time?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved November 21, 2012. I have barely lost any weight 10 lbs at the most, however I was a low BMI'er. Im 5"1 and was 171# on date of sleeve. Im wondering if there is a time when Ill be able to eat what I want and not throw up and or slime or experience the dumping. It seems the only foods that dont make me dump are the foods that I shouldnt have.

I am 7 weeks out and tested the waters with most things .... I do not dump or slime. I have slimed a couple of times in the earlier weeks if I have eaten too fast but nothing major. I think it's all down to the individual but maybe dumping and sliming is good for keeping you on track!! Prob why bypass patients do so well to begin with!! It will get better though soon I sure :)

I thought that sleeves do not cause dumping? That is why my Dr. said he did not want to do b/p surgery just the sleeve.

Oh no....we dump. Just not to the extreme. Its not bad, my doctor told me thats what I was experiencing. Only do it however, when I decide to cheat.

At Dianne 38 did you have any medical history ??? I'm also 5'1 but I weight in at 237 before surgery ' date=' now I was also 170 one time in my life and all I needed to lose was 30 pounds witch I did and it took me 6 months, I gain weight after my daughter and also have hypothyroidism witch makes it a bit harder to lose weight and that's one of my reason why I decided to get sleeved.[/quote']

I had severe high blood pressure...my insurance appoved it same day on the first request. My profile pic was taken a week before I was sleeved. My blood pressure has never been so stable.

Im 6 weeks out and I honestly dont know WHAT I wrigh now. I dont own a scale. What I do know is that I feel better than I have in a while. My blood pressure has been wonderful. I dont wake up with the little white dots swimming and the Migraine headaches anymore.

When I slime its 5 or 10 mins after I haven eaten. My mouth starts to fill with a clear but thick Fluid. When Im dumping Its nausea time ten. A heavy feeling under my chest with sharp pains. Stomach feels like its churning and I feel like if I can jusy burp it would possibly save my life. Last between 45 min to an hour. I usually go to sleep and feel really tired afterwards.

Just a few things to ask yourself:

Are you eating to fast? Are you chewing you food good enough? Not drinking with meals? Eating to much? Are you eating the proper food for the phase you are in?

These questions are just a start, keep yourself in check and hang in there. It won't last forever. Good luck to you!

At 10 months out I slime when I dont chew well,eat too fast or have eaten too much.this happens only when I stuff something in my mouth before I actually sit down to eat (while still preparing the food or dishing up..lol)

The dumping is a different thing altogether.I dump on sugar.It does not happen all the time but if my stomach is empty and I have even a bite of a chocolate, I get very sick.Nausea,shakes,runny tummy,really really sick.

I had one sip of Baileys about 3 weeks ago and boy I thought I would die.There was also no time lag between drinking the sip and the sick feeling,it happened instantly.

So,alcohol,creamy liqeurs actually,and any sugary thing like ice cream,chocolate ect is a definite no no in my life.The Lord surely blessed me with this as I often dont know my limits with these things...lol

Thanks for all this info. I am almost two weeks out but was given the heads up about dumping. Once I start my solids I will make sure to chew thoroughly and not drink until an hour after or half an hour before.

I dump with high quality ice cream, which isnt bad because I shouldnt be eating it anyway.

I occasionaly sliime and throw up, but it is always my fault that I ate to fast, or ate rice or bread, which still dont work for me. It is nothing like having the band. I slimed all the time and threw up at least 5/week.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
