I had this issue when I'deat things I wasn't supposed to eat and with a 40 pound weight gain that's probably your issue as well. The best solution is to change your eating habits back to day 1 if you can and go from there. If you never got in to exercise or physically unable tt hat would also help. Good luck.

@thiklips assuming much? The OP has had considerable complications and didn't post a typical day of eating. Plus we don't know of any other conditions involved.

Perhaps it's true and perhaps not, but you were not any help at all.

OP - post an average day of eating and Fluid intake please. Do you have a support team you can contact - nutritionist, etc?

Hi, I too had my surgery on July 20/2017. I only have a little problem with Acid Reflux once in a while and I realized that it only happens when I eat too fast. As far as the dumping goes, I read in the post op booklet I was given by my surgeon, that happens when we eat too much and unhealthy foods such as high in fat and sugars. I suggest you to have your doctor give you as much information as possible on healthy eating etc but you must stick to the plan or else you'll be very uncomfortable and regain weight. You went through a very drastic surgery to undo it now. I'll be praying for you. Have a great day [emoji120]

@Sosewsue61 Firstly, this person seemed to need a response and I felt pretty bad that no one cared enough to even respond to his post, so I did. Now it's not your place to say whether what I said helped or hurt this person, who died and made you forum boss! I speak the truth from the info. given. People aren't here because people have always been kind to them but I'm a kind person and I'm an honest person and if I can't speak the truth or at least my truth, I say nothing at all. Instead of you criticing my post, Focus your energy on the person in need of a response and deliver some helpful information!

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
