I had all intents on getting the lap band and now am leaning towards the sleeve, is dumping a side effect of the sleeve or just bypass?

I believe it can be a side effect of both. Although less severe for the sleeve and most severe for the bypass. I have the sleeve and I've have very little candy but I did eat three Hershey's kisses on day and felt terrible. I had to lay down for hours to get myself together. Head was spinning, I was dizzy no diarrhea thankfully but I learned my lesson

I don't have any problem with that..but my Sis-n-law who had the bypass does. My experience with the sleeve is more Constipation issues instead of dumping! But that can be easily managed.

You will get mixed answers to this. Some say no dumping with the sleeve, others were told differently. I was told that there is a possibility and I think I have experienced it- I ate a donut once and couldn't leave the house for hours. I also get increased heart rate when I drink Protein shakes. I asked my NUT about it and she said it was possibly dumping syndrome. If this is a concern of yours, the sleeve will be your best bet. If it does happen, it's less severe and less common than with RNY.

Never had a problem with dumping. If I eat to much which I have twice I get the foamies....feels like I'm gonna throw up and a ton of foamy liquid in my mouth but I never actually threw up. I haven't eaten a ton of sugar but I have had some.

I thought it couldn't happen with the sleeve. Boy was I wrong! One gram of sugar and I'm in the bathroom immediately. Worst case of diareaha Ever and it happens instantely. it is horrible. I would have gone with the bypass had I known they both can cause dumping syndrome. Oh we'll. have to work with what I got now.

I had it once. Ate food at Christmas I didn't prepare. Even tho I made good choices or so I thought, there was obviously a lot of hidden fat or sugar. Felt like food poisoning only without the vomiting or diarrhea. It was miserable. Lesson learned.

The closest I got was during the liquid to soft food phase (I was a chicken for progressing). I had the liquid from chicken coconut Soup and was fine with the portion I ate but then drank sone Water to wash the flavor out and it must have pushed it through sleevie too fast or it was too early aftet surgery to eat because I got really clammy, nauseated and then pooped. Not runny but still.

Since then, I took it slow and have not had any issues. I had a brownie bite about 1" x1" with no problems so it can just b e a time issue.

I am now experiencing dumping syndrome. Will this go away? Just started last night and I thought I was constipated but it wasn't. So I'm watching my carbs and sugar. I splurged one time on sugar Cookies and I will never do it again. This was the first time I had sugar because I stick to splenda in everything.

WATCH YOUR SUGAR PEOPLE!!

I was a told dumping syndrome only lasted a couple of hours and that was true the one time I had it. I also didn't "dump". Just felt like a terrible case of food poisoning. Dizziness, headache, nausea, chills, cramps, but nothing coming out of either end. I was told that is how it normally presents. If it started last night and you still feel bad, maybe you just have a bug. We tend to worry that things are sleeve related, but isn't always! If you don't feel better tomorrow, you should check in with your doctor.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
