Hi All,

I am still in the process of deciding between Bypass and Sleeve. My doctor and nurse tell me that Dumping Syndrome is not as common as the internet makes it out to be. I'd love to hear everyone's experience with this. Has anyone eaten a slice of cake or a cookie and NOT experienced dumping?

Hello

I had gastric bypass back in December 2015. I have experience dumping syndrome many times when I eat certain things but now I have been eating certain things that would cause dumping but I have not experience it. It depends on what and how much I eat of certain foods and snacks. Best of luck.

I had RNY in February of this year and have never had dumping. No problem eating pie, cookies, chips, all that junk! The only thing that has really changed is the quantity I feel I can eat and I feel a little queasy if I eat something really fatty (like a fried thing).

FYI, I don't eat junk food often, but have experimented on special occasions and nothing happened. Your mileage may vary!

I've never experienced dumping since my RNY in October 2016. For the first 7 months I was very careful about what I was eating and hardly ate anything over the 6g of sugar recommended to me by the Nutritionist. Now I have found I can eat a small cookie, chocolate or a bit of cake and not suffer any consequences. I have not eaten a full-size dessert of any type. I have stayed away from most fried foods. I have noticed high fat items can cause me to feel yucky but they don't cause dumping. I recently tried corn on the cob and suffered a week of indigestion so sadly it won't be in my diet from now on.

Wow it sounds like a lot of people don't dump!! That's great! I did probably about 5 times my first year...the worst was from having 2 coolers - just too high in sugar at 11 months...it was painful and running to bathroom. I still will only drink 1 cooler not sure if I would dump but I don't wanna test it!!

I agree it does take awhile to learn what your body can tolerate...Now I sometimes test it (other then coolers) and nothing seems to make me dump.

I will have sweets in moderation. With my lapland which was removed, for the sleeve, I ate EVERYTHING and ANYTHING but I got satisfied sooner and never over-indulged. Regarding dumping. ..I am going to start slow with foods and see my bodies reaction. You have to know yourself. Many people have dumping, and or gain weight back etc; you can overeat the wrong foods and not get healthy. I can already tell this Sleeve is 100% better then that lapland that was choking the life out of me.
