Oh god I cannot believe this! I went for dinner tonight to a Thai place with hubby and another couple who don't know about my surgery (I'm 6 months out) after a couple of mouthfuls of a rich starter and a few mouthfuls of the main and a watered down glass of wine I started to feel sick and I mean really sick. Then everything went dizzy and an urgent need for the toilet and then I actually passed out AT THE TABLE!!

I came round pretty quick but was swearing g profusely and had chest pains and thought I was a gonner right there and then. I was taken hime immediately and felt a lot better after getting some air and straight to bed but this is by far the worst dumping attack I've ever had (only had 1 before after eating some sweets at the cinema) and this was 100 times worse.

There must have been a hell of a lot of sugar in that Thai food ~ I've had meals out with the odd glass of wine before and this has never happened. I cannot begin to describe my embarrassment and now dread this happening again. Nightmare :(

Oops sweating profusely not swearing!

Well....I feel bad enough i tend to swear when I dump too....

Almost same experience here, not near as bad though. Went to my nephews b-day party. I had about 3oz of hawaiin punch and one bite of cake. Took about 15 minutes and I stayed in the restroom for 20 minutes. Went home then to bed. Stay away from sweets! I'm craving Chinese food but i'm too scared to try it! lol

So do you all think it was definitely a case of dumping? I swear I was having a heart attack at one point I went white, had chest pains and sweat was pouring off me. Scarily similar symptoms! So how will I know the difference? This could be life and death if that doesn't sound over dramatic??

Sounds like gallbladder to me. Do you still have yours?

Yes I do still have my gallbladder I didn't know it could make you feel like that

Yes! When I had gallbladder attacks it felt like I was having a heart attack every time. I didn't have stones but really thick sludge. They took it out. Much better!!! This is from Wags. Sometimes my ID shows up as lwagner. Don't know why.

My dr says sleevers don't get dumping, that it happens only with RNY and DS patients. I beg to differ with him. The only food that I can't eat is ice cream. I'm a slow learner and by the 5th time, I was literally sitting on the toilet for 2 hrs, stomach cramping so badly begging God to get me thru this and I promised I'd never eat ice cream again.

Occasionally I'll take 1 bite off hubbys ice cream and I'm ok. It's the scoop that gets me. Not sure if it's true "dumping" or not but it's close enuf for me!
