I think I had my first experience with dumping syndrome.

I was craving for some milk and drank some before I went to bed.

I had to get up during the night and go to the bathroom. I started feeling nauseous and had diarrhea, then having dry heaves. When I got up I started feeling flushed.

Is this dumping syndrome?

I know they said gastric sleeve patients don't really have dumping only gastric bypass patients.

I don't think it is dumping syndrome exactly, but it certainly sounds like your sleeve didn't like the milk right before bed. Dumping seems to be when a large amount of unprocessed sugary foods hit the lower intestines without the pre-digestion that usually happens earlier up in the digestive system. Since sleeves don't really bypass the digestion it may not be "true" dumping syndrome, but it still sucks! I had a similar experience with some Halo Top ice cream recently. I have eaten it before and was fine, but this time I just had a 4th of the pint and was miserable for the hour and 1/2. Dry heaves, slimes and stomach ache that nearly doubled me over. I will obviously be staying away from that for a while.... But milk (and the by-products) are a big part of our diet now. Might try it not at night to see if that helps.

Sounds like it could be, or whatever similar thing we sleevers tend to get - I still get it from time to time and it's pretty much always when I have something sweet.

Hope you're feeling better
