My Dumping Syndrome horror story (read if you dare)

[notime 340]

Great story! Sorry you had to go through it, but glad you shared it with us.

I'm so glad I read this while I'm pre-op.

A) Hopefully it will be a lesson to me when I start braving "real foods" again post-op.

and 2) If I had to laugh this hard with incisions, I'd probably pass out!

You're a great storyteller. Thank you for the giggles (and I'm sorry about your barnyard tie-dyed sundress)!

I'm glad everyone can get some amusement from my woes. I figure if we can't laugh at ourselves, we'll go crazy

You poor thing! How traumatic for you and your hubby. I wonder if it was the lemonade or the beer cheese Soup?

Ok, so in the spirit of sharing, girl i hear you! I had terrible Constipation after surgery, still do and I'm in my 6th week post op. At 7 days, my doc recommended Miralax to get things moving without the harness of a pill laxative. I know it takes about a day or two before Miralax really gets you to "move" and i should have been keeping track. Day 2, I thought i was gonna fart (a rarity since surgery) and i said to hubby, "omg i have the worst fart coming!" (that's honestly how it felt! More like gas than anything solid). Well, lo and behold it was not gas. I said "oh crap. Honey i just shat on myself!" In the bed, mind you. Thankfully i had the presence of mind to clench my butt cheeks with relentless fervor before enough came out to get on the bed! Hubby literally had to carry me out the bed (one false move and it would have been smear city) and helped me to the bathroom. I felt awful, to which my hubby replied "this is our divorce insurance. you can never leave me now hahaha." We shared a tremendous laugh and I felt fine afterward. I texted my step-mom, with whom I have been chronicling my journey because her sister is considering a sleeve herself. I told her "Aunt Annette may think she has to fart after surgery. IT WILL NOT ALWAYS BE A FART!! HEAD FOR THE BATHROOM EVERY TIME!!!" She nearly wet herself laughing. Glad I could be stern warning if not a sterling example

That sounds exactly like something my hubby would have said! I'm glad we're not alone in being mortified. Thanks for sharing your story, too--I almost spit my loathsome Water out

I am so sorry you went through this!! Not fun AT ALL! I experienced the exact same "dumping syndrome" two weeks post op after drinking some kool aid that I thought was G2 gatorade- thankfully, I was at home!!!!

[BethinPA 305]

I am so, so sorry that happened to you, but I must admit I was laughing out loud at your description of it - priceless! So...how is the white dress looking today? : )

[Kalimomof3 613]

That is Awful!!How far out are you?I am 7 mos out and have been lucky so far. I have definitely had things not agree but nothing quite so traumatic ....

Believe it or not, it got completely clean in the wash! It was a miracle from above!! I made sure to put the "extra rinse" cycle on. haha
