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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
