Thanks!!!!

"Dumping Syndrome". You have found something (usually it is sugar) that goes right through. For you cheese. Wait a month and try again (at home).

Thanks!!!!

You are very welcome!

This happens to a lot of people. I was only a few days post-op. Thank God I was at home!!!! LOL And it's not a common occurrence- only happened once... For God's sake, it happened to Al Roker at the White House! Talk about the wrong place/wrong time!

Omg!! I forgot about that !!! Thanks

Haha, I was going to post a link to my dumping syndrome story but someone beat me to it! Hehe

I had this happen today for the first time and I'm 6 mo out. Thankfully, there was a bathroom at the marina that I was driving by. If I had to wait 1 more second it would have been a nightmare.

Best story ever! Sadly I could have written a very similar story myself!

The sleeve shouldn't have dumping according to what my research and what my dr says. Dumping, I believe, is what people with bypass patients get. But of course I could always be wrong. However, it is common for sleeve patients to become severely lactose intolerant post op... Which could have caused the problem.

From my research, and dr confirmed, I thought there shouldn't be a dumping syndrome! OMG and I'm starting soft foods on Tuesday? I'm trembling in my boots now!

Could have been lactose into tolerance. Some Get diarrhea quickly after they eat dairy. I was hoping for this since I suffer from chronic constipation. But nope did get intolerant but just sever gas and upset tummy . One year out and eat dairy but get mild gas

It could be lactose intolerance (more likely than "dumping" since that happens very infrequently in VSG vs GBP) as others have said. However, I have had lactose intolerance most of my adult life, and usually I am ok with cheese and yogurt (but not milk or dairy-based ice cream). There's a chance the timing was coincidental and may not be related to the cheese. You can experiment while at home.
