DUMPING IS REAL!!

[bellabloom 2,467]

Dumping ABSOLUTELY HAPPENS AFTER SLEEVE SURGERY. I have a sleeve and I dump often. I have dumped on all kinds of things. High carb food with fats seems to be the most likely to do it for me. In addition, eating too much for my stomach or eating and drinking together- that can trigger it.

I dump frequently. It hasn’t helped me avoid trigger foods but it definitely makes me wary. My dumping is hard to predict and catches me by surprise a lot.

I can tell I’m going to dump within ten minutes or so of eating. My heart starts to race, I get shaky and super nauseated. I sometimes get so sick I literally cannot move, and sometimes I have to urinate about 5-6 times in a row. The nausea is so intense it floors me. I don’t get diarrhea, just the heavy nausea and fluttering heart and dizziness. It’s a horrible feeling.

I’ve seen my doctor and he confirmed this is dumping. You can get dumping with any part of your stomach removed. It’s frequently seen in people that have had stomach cancer.

I don’t know why sleevers think they won’t get dumping. I most definitely do, even three years out and it has not gotten any better at all.

I can dump on pure Proteins although it is much more likely for me to dump from high sugar items.

Yes it's real! I get it if I eat canned Soup, sugar free ice cream and I tried eating some peanut m&ms.. never again.

Sleeve patients can dump, it is not as frequent as bypass patients, but any nurse or doctor will tell you that it could happen.

Had my vsg 8/10...experienced dumping 3 times since then! Dumping for sleeve patients is real!!! And I don’t wish it on anybody!! It’s a terrifying experience and has scared me straight - it makes me second guess any poor decisions I may be about to make. I fear that I’m going to dump while I’m in a public place, or if I have time constraints and can’t leave the bathroom! Haven’t touched Gatorade G2, fairlife chocolate milk, or sweettarts since!
