What does it feel like?

I ate a soft taco at Taco Bell. I've had it before with no problems. About 10 - 15 minutes after I started feeling strange, cold sweat, pressure on my head, shortness of breath...I felt like I was going to faint...I still feel very weak and I have slight pain/pressure in my chest. Can this be dumping? only slight nausea.

Those are all symptoms of dumping. My dr. told me patients sometimes dump without symptoms and that is why you can feel hunger after surgery. You arent really hungry - you dumped.

Taco bell = high fat/sugar which is a recipe for dumping (said from the person who hasnt had surgery yet). :)

Feel better!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
