Dumping doesn't last forever?****
I thought 7 years and 9 months was close to forever.
Edited because I didn't read the above posts very clearly -- to say -- I still dump. Nearly daily. I have to consider what I want vs. the effect it might have on me. That said, I can eat much more sugar and carbs than I EVER thought possible as an early post op -- which is playing with fire.

At the support group I went to, where there was easily over 100 people, most of them had RNY and all of them had experienced dumping. I think it's strange that that 30% number keeps coming up. I don't think it's accurate at all either. Every person I've known that had the RNY has dumped.
I don't believe it for a second.
I think many patients mis-diagnose what IS TRULY a dumping episode -- and just make excuses for feeling poor after ingesting food -- no matter WHAT it is.
People don't expect to dump on healthy foods, either. There's a lot of individuality in dumping, but I'd say it's much more prevalent than we know.

I agree, Beth - how many times have we seen people posting on here while supposedly dumping? Feeling a bit rough after eating something is NOT dumping!
I still dump at 7.5 years too - I have it somewhat under control because at this stage I can pretty much tell what will make me dump - it's why I never touch ice cream!
Anecdotally, I would say that 30% is probably closer to the truth than 100% of RNY'ers dump!

"Dumping syndrome is a complication of RYGB with reports of 50% to 75% of patients experiencing dumping following this particular surgery. Some patients may experience variable degrees of dumping at least through the first 12 to 18 months."
