It happens to me too. Normally if I eat too much that's higher in fat. Today it was the beer and bacon festival. (I was a designated driver, so no alcohol for me!) I thought it was a myth for VSGers, but apparently dumping can happen to anyone, WLS or not. I get very, very hot, feverish, and sweaty. It really sucks :(

Didn't realize it at the time but it happened to me a few weeks ago when I dipped my finger in some cake batter to taste it at my kid's request. Won't be doing that ever again.

Like you, Gwen, I got feveri**** only lasted for an hour, but it was NOT a fun hour! That said, I'm kind of glad that my body has a built-in punishment, for lack of a better word, for sugar consumption! Helps me avoid it better.

It is absolutely real and darn near the worst feeling in my life. I wanted to die! There is no amount or type of food worth going through that pain! Mine was caused by something the hospital made me drink for a test as there was no alternative so it wasn't even like I got to indulge in any goodness with a consequence :( I just know I never want to feel that way again!!!
