Depending on the surgery type, malabsorption is a concern that will vary. I had RnY, so it's a very real possibility. I remember seeing all of the Vitamins I'd have to take for the rest of my life and wondered how I could make it all "work". But, it's been very easy once it just becomes part of your new life.

Dumping, too, is something that's very individual. Some folks here get it with the tiniest bite of sugar, and some can eat anything they want with no ill effects. I'm very grateful that I've never dumped either...but then again, I'm too afraid of it happening to have tried anything that could cause it ;)

I had RNY and I don't dump but eating too much (even a bite) gives me nausea and I did vomit a few times because I tried to push more then the 1/4 cup of food early on. It's just hard to believe you can only eat 1/4 cup at first.

During the holidays I did have some fudge and it made me light headed. I think if I had eaten a bunch I would have dumped but a bite I can handle. For example I drink tea with a teaspoon of sugar with no problem. I don't do it very often. Eating healthy is surprisingly easy when you don't have the raging hunger.

Hi vegas2013, I consider myself a dumper. I at least know when it's coming so I've haven't had any embarrassing moments. Have you had the sleeve done yet or are you still undecided?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
