I was sleeved on march 25th. I have dumped a couple times on because I ate stuff I shouldent have. In my opinion the sleeve is a better choice because of the malabsorption that you have with bypass.

Symptoms of dumping syndrome are most common during a meal or within 15 to 30 minutes following a meal. They include: Gastrointestinal Nausea Vomiting Abdominal cramps Diarrhea Feeling of fullness Cardiovascular Flushing Dizziness, lightheadedness Heart palpitations, rapid heart rate

This explains it pretty good

I'm leaning more toward the sleeve but they are going to see after all my labs come back..I need to do the first part of the sleep study

I actually had dumping syndrome after I had my gallbladder out which was before I was sleeved. But since being sleeved, I have not had any dumping episodes. Im sure its because I eat much better now that Im sleeved. No more fatty foods. It was always the bad fatty foods that had me dumping.

Dumping syndrome is what happens to bypass people. It's not supposed to happen to sleeve people... But that being said some (not many)

Say they dump.

Your right it doesn't that why in leaning more to the sleeve but it could be a good tool to stop eating the sweets which are my weakness
