Dumping syndrome with gastric sleeve

beauty and the beast

It is uncommon but possible. Regardless, the people I know that can dump (bypass patients) all say it is manageable once you know your triggers and for some improves over time. Definitely not worth being scared to death over. If it is that scary to you, you may want to think over your surgery decision as it is unlikely but possible.

Yes, it can happen to us sleevers--about 17% to be exact.

I am one of that 17%. I have come to think of dumping as a good thing. It keeps me honest and on track.

I will dump if I eat anything:

overly sweet

spicy

too dense

rice

Pasta

bread

Or if I eat too fast or too much (and I mean 1 forkful too much).

You can dread dumping and let the fear of having it keep you from having WLS, or you can think about it on a positive level.

Once again, it's all about choices.

Think about it.

Prayers going up.

This can happen to me if I eat foods too fatty or sweet I've learned to limit this to an occasional couple of bites this is how I got fat in the first place so is not a bad thing to limit the intake I also noticed that it really seemed more severe during the first few months it's a process to get back to normal

I don't have dumping syndrome, but if my sleeve does not like something, it won't stay and will go back the same way it came in... Which is not pleasant at all (foamies). So I avoid this nasty experience as much as possible.

I have not experienced dumping syndrome and have tried a wide variety of foods. I do avoid breads, rice, and pastas however. I've had a bite of dessert with no problems.

I am also one of those 17%, but like @@Valentina it keeps me on track. Anytime I eat or drink something too fast I get shakey, a really dry mouth, extreme nausea and weak. It is manageable, I have learned to eat/drink very slow. If you know what triggers it, you can avoid it...so please don't let it scare you away from the surgery.

I just had that experience!!! Grabbed hot chocolate, had 1/4 cup and got dizzy, nauseated and sweaty! Probably dumping! I'm also 1 week out!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
