Can you get dumping syrdom with WLS from a different surgery?
I have notcie since I had my gallbladder removed if my body does't like something it acting kinda werid. It has happened with, sauage, icee (sugar free**** cream (sugar free), bannanas, resse puffs with out milk, of crouse fried food. And who knows how much more. After I have ate these items I could get really sick to my stomach, I would become very cold, and start getting cramps. And usllay end up in the bathroom about 30 mins later...TMI I know. Any ideas if this could happen. I had my surgery july 2nd... It is just werid to me. Thanks
Reach for the moon, if you fail at least you will lay among the stars.
Sounds like you're reacting to the fat in some foods. When you have your gall bladder, it stores bile which helps you digest fats. When you eat something fatty, the gall bladder released a bunch of bile to help digest it. But now that you don't have your gall bladder, you don't have bile stored up to help digest fat.

No, dumping is a very specific physiological reaction to unprocessed sugar (which normally would have been partially processed by the bypassed portion of the intestine) in the lower intestine. Without your gallbladder, though, you can be more sensitive to fats and, to a lesser extent, carbs. Most of the items that you listed is either high in fat or carbs, so you will likely just have to be more careful about fat and carb content. (The sugar free items may be too high in sugar alcohols for your body.)
