Dumping is REAL

[Cindyjo 3]

Oh my word!! I had the revision from sleeve to RNY on 6/6. I had some Peanut Butter chocolate milkshake today. Just a 1/4 of a small sonic cup. I have been so ill!! Do not eat sugar! I don’t know if I ever will again after today. Headache and nausea is horrible.

Also, how long were you off work after RNY. My revision was because of a bad stricture/stenosis. I lost 90lbs with the sleeve. I am 180 now but my doctor said I did not have a choice but to get a revision because my stomach was so bad. RNY is not what I wanted but the GERD and nausea were awful. Will I lose much more?

Sitting here feeling like I’m going to barf.

Sorry you’ve experienced dumping, especially right after surgery. Were you educated (pre-op) on dumping, which impacts 30% of RNY patients? You may need to stay away from sugar for a longtime, more than 1-2 years, if not forever.

Does your surgeon’s post-op plan allow milkshakes 2 weeks after gastric bypass or did you just give into temptation? If the latter, you need to set yourself up for success by staying away from fast food places and removing trigger foods from your pantry and fridge. And if you didn’t receive clear nutritional guidance then you should contact your bariatric center for specifics on what you can eat when, post-RNY. Good luck!

I was off work (desk job) for 2 weeks after Mini Gastric Bypass. I will be having revision surgery soon (RNY) and my surgeon said I should expect to be off work for 2-3 weeks. How long were you told?

We gotta make sure to stick to our doctor’s plan so we don’t get ill like that.

I accidentally took a bite of my fish tonight and there was sweet potato mash on it (came with meal) & I spat it out cause it was overly sweet tasting. I am afraid of dumping and am trying to limit my sugar as much as I can and am choosing not to consume sugar at all if I can help it.

I too am a sleeve to bypass revision & was informed of dumping. I am one of those whom hope I get it as a reminder to not make bad choices.

i took off only 3 weeks after my rny
