Dumping happens with RNY because the valve that keeps food from dumping directly into the intestines is no longer there. The valve is intact with DS. Dumping involves fast heartbeat, sweating, dizziness, and weakness. It is not diarrhea, but diarrhea can happen with dumping.
Something else is happening with you. Discuss with your doctor.

Hello, All,
I have severe diarrhea sometimes it has me up all night long. I probably have this happen 4 nights per week. I may have a solid stool once or twice a week. Does this sound like dumping syndrome? I do not have any other signs.
Thank you!
A study was done on TBL people. It found the diet crashed their metabolism permanently (which is separate from the drop in caloric needs due to the actual weight loss). Plus, on the show, they spent significant amounts of time every day exercising which they could not maintain after returning home. It was a recipe for failure. The people on that show did not have WLS unless it was part of their history.

Well, probably one of the main advantages is that the cap protects from the sun.

Thank you so much for responding and for your encouragement. I appreciate hearing from you and thank you for sharing that you had a similar fear of surgery but were able to overcome it.
The first time I had surgery I was really scared. I told my neighbor who was about 20 years older than me and she said she had had so many surgeries that she had lost count. Still I was scared. That surgery was a hysterectomy. After about two weeks, I was pretty well healed and felt great.
That was 30 years ago and now I have had so many surgeries that I have lost count. After RNY surgery, I expected to feel so different. I felt exactly the same and if there were not a couple of band-aids on my stomach would have accused the surgeon of not really operating.
Surgery is a scary thought, but the hospital staff takes good care of patients and get them back to normal very quickly. Someday you may be over your fear and then you will be ready for weight loss surgery.

Thank you Partlypollyanna. I have searched and did find some older posts about cancelling surgery or postponing. I was very happy with my doctor and his practice. The support there is very good. I guess I am just not ready yet. They do have a medically supervised program too but things like that have never worked for me longterm.
Hi Lucile. It sounds like you had a bad experience. If you don't mind sharing did you have complications?
