Late dumping?

[Bianca S. 195]

Not a subject I want to ask about buuut here I am. Is there such thing as late dumping? I had a couple things this weekend that I know I shouldn’t have and woke up this morning and till right now with a watery bowel movement. The only thing that I can think of that can be a reason to it is that I had 2% milk yesterday morning (normally I have Fairlife fat free) and it wasn’t even half a cup that I Drank. I ended up rushing to the restroom after about 2 oz in to vomit and it’s the only thing that came up. I’ve had a weird feeling in my stomach (not like a pain but like something similar to how you feel when bloated) and with a slight headache. I been good on my Water until this weekend I lagged.

I think the headache is from being slightly dehydrated. And no, I don't think dumping can be delayed. Dumping is from your gallbladder dumping a ton of bile into the small intestine because you consume something sugary or fatty and your gallbladder thinks you're about to eat a big meal so it thinks you need all the bile! Well as we know none of us eat big meals so all that bile goes straight through you, causing dumping. So I don't see how that could delay.

dumping usually happens pretty quickly after you eat. It happens when sugar hits your small intestine. Plus it's pretty rare in sleeve patients - it's a lot more common in bypass patients.

Reactive hypoglycemia is sometimes referred to as "late dumping", but from what I understand, that typically happens a couple of hours after eating. And again, sugar is usually the culprit - it's caused by your blood sugar surging and then crashing.

not sure what you had - maybe a bug? Or maybe some fluke? I guess I'd say just monitor it and let your surgeon know if it becomes a pattern.
