Yes, I have been dealing with this for a long time.  I have had a drainage tube in my remnant stomach since March.  Excess bile and some food stuff builds up in my remnant and there is lots of pain involved.  I am going to have another surgery in October to redo the 'Y' connection.  That is where they think I am intermittently kinking up.

I understand your pain and frustration.

Hello,
  I had surgery 3 1/2 years ago and lost weight.  I only had "dumping" when I ate pancakes at a pancake house and when I ate icing of a certain cake made by a local grocery store.  Otherwise I was able to eat anything in small amounts and I was fine until the last 8 mos.  I have been trying to find info on this but it is almost non existent.  I have begun to have very low blood sugar(as per symptoms and measured on a meter) and then my blood sugar can go as high as 300 with symptoms also (nauseous and vomiting etc). 
  It is a very difficult problem for me as I can only eat so much, never have hunger pains and I am allergic to soy (this predates the gastric bypass) and seem to have developed an allergy to wheat. Most protein supplements are soy or whey so I can't use them.  I had the surgery so I could have bi -lateral hip replacements and I have had surgery twice for severe spinal stenosis so my mobility is limited.  I am disabled so my income is also limited and I can no longer go to the physical therapist or to other doctors my family doctor wants me to go to because of co-pays.  
  There is very little help after the surgery-I even had two bowel blockages and had two emergency surgeries but I never saw the doctor after them, just the nurse practitioner. I worry about what the highs and lows of the blood sugar is doing to me but I can only try and control it with diet which is effective most of the time.  I even ended up in the emergency room once as they took my symptoms for a stroke and the emrgency room doctor didn't seem to be the least concerned about this low/high blood sugar and didn't even know it could be related to the bypass.  If anyone has any info or new sites to go to please let me know.  This has become a real problem and I think the bypass surgeons need to be more aware of it and help patients deal with it and take more interest in their patients after they have gotten the fees for the surgery.
