I've seem multiple posts about this and there seems to be very clear that people have different opinions and experiences with it. So, here is mine.....

My surgeon told me that I would experience dumping, and I have.

I follow my surgeons guidelines to a 'T' with the exception of two weak moments since surgery. Once with a mini blizzard from Dairy Queen and once with a small square of a brownie that I made. Both events were well after a meal. I ate the offensive item. Not 5 minutes later I started sweating, I got really hot and my face turned completely white. I felt like I was going to throw up. 10 minutes after eating the diarrhea kicked in. I was miserable for about 30 minutes. On top of all of the , during this 30 minutes, I also experienced extreme urination. Going constantly even after I emptied my bladder.

This to me is dumping. What else could it be?

Am I alone in this?

I'm 5 weeks post op. For those seasoned sleevers.....Will I always have this or does it go away with time?

I thought sleeve patients did not "dump" but that sure sounds like what I have read dumping is like. I am sorry you had this experience. Hope you are feeling better now.

SOME sleeve patients do dump, but it's much more common for bypass patients. At least that's what we learned in pre-op class.

I felt fine after about 30 minutes. I've had no other issues since my surgery, which I'm thankful for!

I've had similar experiences. When I asked my NUT she said higher fat foods will cause this because our new pouch can not handle all that heavy fat. It's a learning experience I guess as far as what we can tolerate. I guess it a version of dumping for sleeve patients....I definitely swear and run to bathroom after a wrong choice.
