Dumping Syndrome

[careya123 260]

I'm 3 weeks past surgery, and I get dumping syndrome whenever I eat more than 2 bites of something sugary (after a healthy meal). I knew it was possible, but I really didn't think I'd get it. None of the million or so YouTube videos I watched by VSGers mentioned this, unless it was to say they didn't get it. Feeling kind of bummed. Who else out there has it?

Lucky us, right?

I get dumping syndrome whenever I eat anything sweet or spicy, or if I overeat.

I don't know why some sleevers insist that dumping is only something that by- passers get. NOT TRUE. Dumping is more common in by-passers, but sleevers get it also.

I've come to consider dumping a wonderful tool to have along with my sleeve.

Dumping keeps me honest and on track with my eating.

As my grandsons say, "Granny, you've been slimed!"

Use dumping as your friend. What other choice to we have without making ourselves miserable?

I was warned about this being a possible side effect on my 1st NUT appointment. With only being 3 weeks post-op - I wouldn't be eating anything like that anyway. Your body is telling you that you shouldn't be eating sugar!
