Sounds like it. Some dumping is immediate, some delayed. What did you eat for dinner?

Welcome to the wonderful world of dumping! I get really bad flu like symptoms when I dump and it happens if I eat too much sugar, anything fried, or anything with too much fat. Sometimes it happens right away and some times its later. Hot, sweats, pain, light headed...all symptoms. I have a lot of great information on my blog about dumping (in nom nom nom). I know this will be TMI to some people but you can always tell a "dumping" poo from a regular poo because of the smell. ugh.

This too shall pass!

Does "dumping" happen with the sleeve also?

I don't think it does. The whole point of the sleeve is just to minimize the amount of food that you can eat it does not minimize or change the nutrition absorption.

Good to know this. I had a night like this first week after surgery. I didn't cheat or anything. This new stomach, argh, takes getting used to.
