Dizziness and sweating after food!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I'm 2 and half months post surgery and I've noticed sometimes after having a meal, I feel a little dizzy and I start to sweat. This lasts for a good hour or so?! My whole body changes and I feel uncomfortable. Anyone else experience this??

Thanks

I feel very tired suddenly after I eat.

Don't forget we had major surgery.

Sounds like dumping. Try slowing down and take smaller bites.

I feel that way if what I am eating has a lot of carbs/sugar. And I get that tired feeling if I eat too much now.

I was told that VGS don't get dumping syndrome but I had a bit too much of a sugary thing and I was miserable for an hour. Nauseas, feel like I can't move, something feels really wrong, I have to lie down. Then it goes away. It's happened 3 times since my 10/10/16 surgery.

My dr says that VSGrs definitely dump! I haven't experienced it yet because I am only 3 weeks out, but it was discussed in my pre op classes!

My NUT said some Sleevers dump and I happen to be one of them. Sugar doesn't seem to bother me but rich fatty foods do. Basically leaves me miserable for about an hour. I'm still mourning bacon!

That happens to me if I overeat or have too many carbs. It feels very flu like and miserable. Does it happen only when you eat certain things?

I heard that about 13% of vsg patients experience dumping syndrome. So yes it can happen, but it isn't something that all vsg patients experience.

Do you have any pain? The only time I have felt this was when I drank a diet lemonade 3 weeks post op and it hurt and I felt awful...I am avoiding citrus since

Sleevers can have a version of dumping. That is for sure! For me it really only happens if I eat something high in sugar and milk at the same time, like a milk shake or rich ice cream. I don't recommend eating those things frequently if you are a sleever anyway, since they are a good way to get in a lot of calories without restriction!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
