Can you get a dumping feeling with the sleeve? I'm 8 days post op and just had three bites of non fat yogurt and felt light headed, followed by nausea for two hours. Was it just too much for my system? Help! Thoughts guys..??

Yes. Dumping is not that common with the sleeve, but it happens to some people. I had a dump at around 12 weeks eating frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries. Not fun at all.

"Keep Calm...Dumping Happens"... new slogan? probably not...

I had it because I ate too fast or too much on occasion...but fortunately, that has passed.... I always kept a cup (like a McDonalds cup-dare I say that word) in my car and at work...just in case!!!

Since it comes up so quickly

ok so dumping is throwin up...I haven't had the surgery but certain foods I eat I go the other way....like coffee or dairy..

Dumping is usually foods passing through the digestive system quickly and in the process usually causing extremely bad cramping and diarrhea. It may also cause nausea, sweating, flushing, dizziness, vomiting and/or heart palpitations. I get it from eating foods that have a lot of sugar and sometimes from dairy.

Here's some good info on it: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dumping-syndrome/basics/definition/con-20028034

My dr told me that the dumping syndrome is more common with bypass patients, but you can get it with the sleeve especially early on during the liquid and purée stage. I'm very new at this, just about 4 weeks out and had been very lucky, the only time I felt sick was when I accidentally ate one bite to much and it felt like it came out faster then it when down, but my upper stomach / chest felt like a truck parked on it.

I have several instances where I felt really sick after eating. Usually when I have chosen poorly and eaten something inappropriate or too much quantity. I have been able to get through it by laying down and keeping still. It passes and I don't seem to have any lasting issues except "don't do that again!". Advice I had heard (but sometime have ignored) is to introduce any new foods slowly and in small amounts to see how well they are tolerated. This has worked for me when I have followed the advice. Try it and hang in there. You and your new tummy will find peace with each other.
