I was having that issue and it turns out I had a food allergy. I actually don't know if I had it before my surgery or not, but after surgery I dumped after eating wheat. I would notice I'd get a milder case with certain other foods and it turned out those foods had trace amounts. I was tested for a wheat allergy and low and behold I have one. (My gastroenterologist said if your test comes back 0.4% it's considered an allergy. Mine came back 4.73% So it was more than 10x the threshold). So maybe you have a food allergy or are just sensitive to something in your food. Maybe try an elimination thing to try and figure out what the trigger is.

I didn't dump at all until about the six month mark, and I experienced it several times in months six to eight. I did not eat sugar or fats, and I'm pretty sure it was because i was eating more than I should. I realized what my limits were and have been able to find a happy medium now that I'm in maintenance.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
