Dumping Syndrome at 5 1/2 years post surgery



Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I am at the 6 year post surgery mark and I have noticed the past few months to almost a year that I seem to have dumping syndrome almost after every meal. Anyone else experiencing this? I've been under more stress in life than usual but there is definitely a direct correlation to 15 minutes after I eat.

Maybe describe your symptoms...

Have you spoken with your surgeon?

I saw where you had your surgery in Mexico. So I recommend you talk with your family doctor. You can get a referral to a GI specialist that might help you figure out what is going on. Have you been keeping up with your yearly bloodwork and everything?

I had this earlier this year...

I was not eating meat, and it cause me a ton of issues. I changed how I was eating, back to my normal way of eating and it has stopped.

The whole experience was pretty traumatic. Have you changed how you are eating lately?

Have you considered IBS? A trip to the doctor is in order. My husband and MIL have IBS, it's triggered by stress and their variety is horrible digestive distress immediately after eating or drinking. Neither is sleeved, both had onset later in life. My husband's is managed well with meds my MILs not so much.

Dietary changes could be the culprit, easily, and any other number of other maladies. It's not necessarily sleeve related.

I'm sorry you're suffering. It's awful. Please see your doc.

Thanks for your response. I haven't changed my diet recently but it sounds like I need to go to my local doc to have a checkup.

      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!
