What does "Dumping" mean for you?

 Hi! I am 8 weeks out, and I'm pretty sure I don't have dumping symptoms....but "pretty sure" doesn't sit well with me..lol.  For those of you that do, could you please explain what it is like in your case.  Maybe that would help me understand better....

 It starts where I get the 'gurglies' in my stomach.  Then my heart starts racing and I start sweating (almost feels like a panic attack), then I have diarrhea/vomiting at the same time - I have to hold the trash can in front of my face while on the toilet.  Then it takes a minimum of 4 hours to feel 'normal' again.

I notice a lot of people here think dumping is something not being chewed up well so you vomit.  Not even close.

 This sounds very unpleasant!  I am glad that you told me!

Technically speaking, we all "dump."

"Dumping" is when your missing pyloric valve allows a bunch of food into your intestines at once. Your body sends in a bunch of water to help process the influx of food. In some people this is uncomfortable or sickening. In most people (70%) it's not. You really can't count on it happening or not happening.

I didn't think I did at first either...The further out I go the more I know I do. I get Nauseous and feel drowsy and sick to my stomache or " just not right!" Just plain yucky....I don't get the diahrea or the vomits....I have twice but usually not. It takes me about an hour or so the feel better sometime longer depending on what I have ate and howmuch.

Now I DO feel like this sometimes and it sucks.  It usually takes about 20 minutes to get better.

LOL.......word for word that is exactly what happens to me.  It took me a while to figure it out.  Iam thankful and it helps me to remember portion control.  Thanks Shanna B. 


When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism.

I have had dumping twice. Mine starts with some stomache pains.  Then it moves into very strange pains in my ribcage.  Its almost like I can't take in a full breath because my ribcage is hurting on both sides.   Usually after 20 minutes or so I vomit and then I feel better.
