Stomach Side Effects?

[NovemberSleever 20]

I'm having gastric sleeve surgery in November and wanted to know if anyone who has had it done suffers from stomach issues as a result? Specifically dumping syndrome or diarrhea? I already have those issues BEFORE surgery and don't need them getting worse after. Thanks for any feedback!

I am not sure if this helps as I didn't have the issues before. I haven't had either issue afterwards although I have been very constipated and thats a pain in the arse

Congratulations on your surgery date!!

I didn't have any issues pre-op and post op I am completely fine. Neither Constipation or dumping.

No dumping. If take metformin and that gives you diarrhea, hopefully you will be able to cut back or eliminate that, and that will ease the diarrhea. Most people have more of an issue with Constipation than anything else.

Awesome thank you. No metformin, just a weak stomach in general. Constipation is fine by me (vs. constant diarrhea!) Thank you for the feedback!

No issues with either, but everyone stresses this is a lifestyle change; portions will be minuscule carbs from starches are a thing of the past; follow the doc's eating plans... Protein then vegetable; stop when full, even if it's only three or four small, finely chewed bites. I hope the new way of eating cures the former issues. Heightened senses of smell and taste will guide you as to whether or not you should even take the first bite! Best of Luck!

I had no issues before surgery. However after surgery, if I eat something high in carbs-specifically something sweet, I'll get a very mild case of dumping. I get the hot flashes only. No diarrhea or vomiting that most people get with dumping.

Thankfully , I never threw up after surgery.

I dumped one time and I will never eat deep fried beer battered fish and fries again in life. I thought I was dying my eyes Water, my stomach hurt, and I just wanted to die. I believed I was having a heart attack.

I had issues with Diarrhea for 2 weeks post surgery. However, I haven't had any issues since then.

Same here.
