Hey @ms.sss I was talking to my team last week & I mentioned sugar & dumping They said it’s not an issue for sleevers which surprised me because of reading about experiences like yours & others. I thought I was just lucky I hadn’t reacted to fruit (or those Christmas treats I sampled). Now I’m very confused.

I'm surprised your team does not know any sleevers who dump (my doc told me there was a chance I could still dump when I told him one of the reasons I wanted sleeve was that I didn't want to dump)! It may not be as big a percentage of the RNY-ers (don't know much about the other surgeries out there, though), but I know I'm not the only sleever on here that dumps.

And yeah, you are lucky

I don't know about everybody, but I know the I have experienced negative consequences of sugar.

I can eat sugar in small quantities and have since sleeved. Long story-I don't do well with artificial sweeteners. However, if I get carried away and have a lot of sugar or I don't balance that sugar with protein/healthy fats, I get a definite reaction. I feel a little nauseated, get cold sweats and can get a bit of a GI purge from down below if you get my drift.

My trainer/mentor always said that he could tell as soon as sugar hit his system. I'll be honest. This was before I had surgery and I thought he was a little wacka-do. Now, I totally get it and I liken my reaction to what he described. This reaction or "dump" might not be as severe as RNY, but I certainly do get a reaction.

PS-I have NEVER gotten any kind of reaction from fruit. Only if I've eaten things with processed sugar.
