Dumping Syndrome with the Sleeve

[doxieville 799]

I notice several of you saying you have dumping symptoms and you haven't been sleeved yet. I know my date is very close and all the sudden I am having dumping symptoms' date=' nausea, diarreha, cramping, weakness, I have to lay down. I really believe I am already have the dumping symptoms. Weird. I feel like I am being prepared so I don't eat certain things like sweets, fats, carbohydrates, Pasta, etc.[/quote']

What are you eating now? Are you on a strict pre-surgery diet? Are you eating foods w sugar alcohols?

My post op binder says 10% of sleevers get dumping syndrome.

I am 1 month post op today and I definitely get dumping syndrome! My surgeon says that sleeves do get it but not as much as bypassers. If I eat something too fatty or even too greasy I spend the next 30-45 minutes so sick to my stomach that I wish I could throw up the food, accompanied with feeling like my body is in a sauna.. Hot and sweaty and over all it just sucks.

Most of the time if something is too sugary it just goes thru me w the cramps and diarrhea.

I've also experienced this about 4 or 5 times total since surgery.

Today I tried a new Protein drink in the morning (Boost Plus) and after only 1/4 of it I was already nauseous, shakey, hot, and sweaty. Not sure if it was the sugar content or the added calories from the "plus" part.

It is a horrible feeling and I hope the symptoms lessen a bit as time passes, but I have already learned a few foods that I will never try again.. And am probably better off without them!
