I think dumping syndrome is most frequent with the gastric bypass.  All it is, is when the food passes too quickly into the intestines and can cause bloating, gas, vomiting, diarrhea, or after a bit of time, sweating or dizziness. I haven't had any of these problems with the sleeve. Your stomach is still there to break down the food. Alcohol will pass quicker so you have to watch out when you drink after. I have heard as well that with the band you can get liquid backing up into your noise when you lie down. Kind of like reflux, I guess. One reason I choose the sleeve. Lol if you talk to the Drs they will tell you some issues with the different procedures. I had in mind what I wanted to have, but after reviewing your case Dr beausoleil will suggest what he thinks is best in each case.  I think you can also use the search at the top of this website and type in things like dumping syndrome to get more personal experiences.  

Hey Kat, so sorry you are not feeling well, I am sure that you are correct in saying that it is indeed just muscular but if you want to be sure you should call moncton and get their opinion.  I hope you are feeling better soon, I know this flu that is going around is terrible.  By the way congrats on such great weight loss, you are doing fantastic, just try to get some liquids in (sugar free or otherwise while you are sick).  It will help flush this flu out of your system.  Thinking you you.

For the first time since my surgery six months ago, I am sick. I got the flu last Friday. I have been coughing a bit. Not frequently, but when I cough it's bad. Sometimes I come close to being sick. Anyway, I noticed the last couple of days that my stomach is cramping when I try to eat or cough. I know it's the muscles around it, but I'm worried I may have bruised my stomach. Anyone else have anything like this?  I know it's  a year for it to fully heal so I guess I'm just being a little paranoid...it doesn't hurt unless I'm using the muscles around it and it doesn't actually feel painful to eat, just crampy.  

I saw DR B to sign my papers in may of 2013 and had my surgery on april 8th of 2014 and I saw him on april 1st this year for my one year check up and every thing is going great down 120 pounds and holding. I only had problem with dumping during my first week of the liquid diet and it didn't last long.i had the sleeve done and had no problems at all it was the best thing I could have done for myself and family.

My first consultation date with the doctor was jan2014, info session oct 2014,  signed my papers Feb2015, then surgery date April 2015. My first referral went in back in sept 2011 for the surgery.
