Holy Canoli ... Am I Dumping?



Recommended Posts

Long story short:

4.5 weeks out from surgery. I ate lobster bisque (less than half a cup).

My heart started racing, I started sweating and my stomach is cramping. I feel soo sick right now.

I still feel like my heart is going to come out of my chest... what is happening to me? Has this happened to anyone?

That happened to me and I didn't know what it was either. I don't know if it was a slight allergy but it also happens to me if I have something with a lot of sugar regardless of quantity. Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe someone can offer some insight because it is a little freaky when it happens.

Yes that is dumping syndrome. It can happen while eating when the food leaves the stomach to fast, or it can happen 2-4 hours after eating and the food left the stomach to fast. The result is from your intestines having to try and digest food that has not been digested enough and you get a spike in glucose in the blood.

I thought dumping didn't happen to sleeve patients...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I think I will do more research on this. I'm with you OneSassyChick79- I thought it wasn't supposed to happen to sleevers but to people who get a gastric bypass. Interesting.

Dumping Syndrome can happen to anyone. Even people who have not had WLS.
