Dumping Syndrome....

[fccm04 39]

Ok, I've read a lot about it but with 5 days out, I've not experienced it, and hopefully never will but just in case, can someone give me their personal experience with it. Not the dictionary version but your own personal experience. I previously had the LapBand and I vomited all the time, a painful vomit where I had to go lay down afterwards. I just want to know if the two compares. I currently have the sleeve BC of too many complications with the Lapband. Also were there certain things that would trigger dumping syndrome and for us "newbies" must stay way from. Thanks for sharing!

I am not certain what I had was dumping syndrome. On several occasions I have eaten too much or the wrong things. I have felt really awful until I vomited. The vomiting was not painful. I felt much better once it was done. I think the sleeve may handle foods and getting overfilled a bit more kindly than the bypass or band

Dumping is diarrhea. And it's awful

I ate a falafel and 2 tablespoons of hummus and 30 minutes later I has indigestion, hot flashes, intestinal cramping and liquid runs. The 2nd time I almost did not make it to the toilet.

It was bad.

Think stomach flu without the vomiting and once it's all out your done

One of my nurse friends that has the sleeve said dumping was where your pancreas dumps a bunch of insulin into your system and your really sick for about an hour . I hear once you have been through it you will never eat what made you dump again. She ate some chocolate.

I also had a similar reaction to hummus. Is it too much oil, I wonder? Here's a great list of dumping syndrome symptoms.

My doc also told me the term 'dumping' refers to the insulin increase, not the trips to the bathroom

I chalked it up to the oil

It was from am Arabic restaurant and had a lot

that's interesting. i wonder if that means, since i'm a Type 1 diabetic and don't produce insulin, if i will automatically avoid dumping?

Luckyyyyyyy

Bet you'd never think that with your diabetes.

My hubby is a type 1 and he lost 50 + pounds with no issues. Eats whatever no issues.

Just be careful on timing of insulin shot maybe?

vomiting is not dumping. dumping means undigested food esp sugar or fat are "dumped" into your small intestines.

the symptoms can be cramping, sweating, severe nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness, racing heart, paleness, fainting, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, weakness, extreme and/or explosive diarrhea. it can be mild or horrible, depending.

I was fine with sweets in small portions and hummus. Happened with fried chicken. It was like a hot face and having to go right then... And for a person who struggles with the Constipation side effect... It was a weird situation!
