It was pretty much both. BBQ ribs. lol. sauce and fatty. Not smart. Could be blockage. I lost track of how I chewed.

According to your profile you just had surgery a little over a month ago. I would think you eating anything pork or beef would cause you to not be successful. Trust me I know. A month and a half after surgery I tried to eat a taco and puked it up within minutes after taking the last bite. Its so not worth it.

Yeah I have no doubt that I had a dumping episode, so I'm on the "it can happen with a sleeve" bandwagon.

I just had dumping last night and it was awful. Felt like my intestines were twisted or something! I am nearly 4 wks post op. I had 3 bites of a Breakfast sausage and scrambled eggs, but I'm sure the sausage did it. No more sausage for me!! Now I'm dehydrated and considering the hospital as we speak????

I have the band --waiting for approval for revision to bypass. What I've experienced is food getting stuck and what is referred to as "sliming". That can also cause headache and chest pain with the sweats. It lasts as long as it takes to open the plug caused by the stuck food -- usually a few minutes. Not the same as dumping. Dumping is caused from eating fatty or sugary foods and lasts about an hour -- major diarrhea, sweats, nausea.

Did you go to the hospital? Hope you are feeling better. It took me two days before I quit feeling so bad. The day after I did not get all my protein- just focused on Water.< /p>

My dietitian told me "dumping" only happens to people who get gastric bypass not the sleeve.

Obviously your dietician is wrong. You should educate her so she is not giving false information. Feel free to reference the actual study that was conducted by professionals that I referenced in my earlier post which proves this to be fact.

I get dumping too. My other problem is that my sleeve is tempermental. I can eat something one day then the next it makes me feel horrible. I never know what is going to set it off. It could be just feeling yucky or a straight up diarrhea or foaming. I have thought that it may be eating too much or too fast but I don't think that is the case. I usually have an egg and 2 pieces of bacon. Yesterday it was fine, today not so much. Been in the bathroom since 20 minutes after I ate it. Yuck

Dumping Syndrome definitely happens to the sleeved. I'm a little over 2 weeks out and had my first episode. It was hell! Sweating profusely, wanting to pass out, nausea beyond belief, lasting over 1/2 hour.

My question - Some sleeved do not experience dumping syndrome while others do. If we do, is this something that will be an issue the rest of our lives? jake

I can't answer for sure as everyone is different, but I only had it about the first 6 months.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
