No....I REALLY thought this was serious. My mind was working fast and furious thinking I would have to keep repeating myself all the way to surgery...SLEEVE...MAKE SURE IT'S A SLEEVE!. Then I kept following the thread and I was thinking "boy these are heartless responses" and then the "DUH" moment hit and I started laughing. Nice one. Count me as "Got her "

Yea, I got GOT too! And I even posted something before I read the entire thread!!! Geez....

Not sure this is 100% true.

Some of us swear we were dumping after high sugar or high fat;moreover, it is more of a problem the closer to DOS you are.

For example, I ate some ham at 6 weeks. No, not the Turkey ham, but real ham that is kind of fatty. I did not realize it was going to be an issue when eating it at a diner.

After a few minutes, I was sweating, dizzy, felt like vomiting, got diarrhea. I believe this was a dumping experience for me. Learned my lesson and it only happened once.

Just a warning...

RE: dumping

My surgeon told me it could be a possibility for someone like me who didn't have a gallbladder since I was having these symptoms before. However, since being sleeved I haven't experienced it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
