I think it all just depends on the person I haven't had surgery yet and a couple months ago I met a lady that was telling someone about her surgery and how it was the best choice she's ever made while eating a Hershey's bar I sat there probably looking a fool with my mouth wide open then I asked but why are you eating the chocolate aren't you afraid of dumping and she said sometimes I like to eat bad so I can dump it's like a cleanse I sat there in disbelief because of all the dumping horror stories you hear lol I think it just depends on the person lol
