Can LapBand patients experience this? Is is from eating too much too fast??? Just curious..

Lapband people don't have a dumping problem as far as I know. Ask your doctor.

Its symptoms such as nausea, chills and shakes that occur when a whole ton of sugar and fat hit your circulation too quickly. it happens to bypass people becuase of their missing intestines, the stuff doesnt get broken down/absorbed gradually, it suddenly hits the intestines and boom, straight into the blood stream.

not something a bandster needs to worry about although people with blood sugar issues and diabetes can also get this occurring. Easily avoided by not eating sugary/fatty foods.

Those with IBS can also experience dumping, so it's not exclusively a bypass problem. I can tell you from personal experience, it's extremely painful. Basically your body just decides it does not want to deal with the food you've put in one end and sends it out the other end PDQ. I've had entire meals go right through me in 15 minutes or less. Bypass people are a little more predictable when it comes to dumping though as sugars and fats will pretty much always cause dumping. With IBS, a food that is just fine one day makes you sick as a dog the next. I've experienced dumping from just water!
