Dumping Syndrome. Pure and simple. The maple and brown sugar. Some of the symptoms of dumping are lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, cramps, etc. The symptoms are actually very similar to hypoglycemia.

Don't do sugar!

Are you eating the regular flavored oatmeal or the weight control? I'm pretty sure the weight control has almost no sugar per serving.

I have had two episodes of dumping syndrome, but it is not good! :huh: :huh:

The last time was right before Halloween! I do not reccomend trying cashew "ice cream" even 1/4 of a cup.......

I had terrible vomitting (with nothing in pouch), dizziness, sweating, abdominal cramping, and diarehha and overall feeling of death. It lasted about 4 hours?

On a positive note- I knew that trying halloween candy was out of the question!

I am slightly torn between being happy I have not dumped and being irritated that it doesn't happen.

I have had many things (small bites, small pieces, nothing extreme) that would have caused dumping and didn't.

Does that mean it will never happen? No. Does it mean I can eat anything I want? Just because I can doesn't mean I should.

It also always amazing to me what has made people dump and what others have no reaction to at all.

1/4 cup of the cashew "ice cream" I had was 8g of sugar similar to light and fit Greek yogurt that doesn't affect me... Never know!

I am kinda glad I get dumping syndrome, but when it happens it sucks!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
