 I just found a good article on line about dumping. I dump after I eat any thing with sugar. I did not know I was dumping. I though dumping was when you ate something you had to use the bathroom right away how stupid am I. 

My dumping after eating sweets is I am tired I stay in bed half the day after eating sweets and get and it makes my heart race. Which i all most went to my pcp over because I though something was wrong with my heart. So not only do high fat foods make me dump sugar does also. I have to watch for sugar in my foods now and sugar alcohol.

I started to eat sweets this May and did not connect the dumping with them.

I am a year out and this problem is not going away so I am stuck with this I was told. Which is not a bad thing as long as I listen to my body and do not eat sugar things.

My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

I dump also...have some of those same symptoms.  I'll have to go lie down..and just feel really out of it..so I avoid anything with high sugar now as well.

Dumping in VSG
http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/carmelita/blog/tag/vsg+dumping+syndrome/


I have never read of anyone with VSG havin dumping after eating sweets this far out.
VERY VERY unique!
Im tellin ya tho, since yer 'stuck with it' use it to yer advantage ,-)

That's why RNY is a great BEHAVIOR MOD surg for sugar addicts...reactive hypoglycemia.
VSGrs have alimentary hypoglycemia a type of reactive hypo ...where we can DUMP ON ANYTHING!
sugar, lo fat, protein, just like unaltered people, or other non-WLS gastric surgery peeps usually have.

Dumping is a SYNDROME... 3 or more symptoms ....... dhr, diophoresis/sweating, vomiting, ab pain/cramping , tachycardia: heart racing, dizziness/shaky, black outs, tired after/sleepin it off.
eta..thanks to silly below! forgot about all that sweatin! it is horrible!!

n yer not stupid!! Ya didn't know ..NOW you do!... I didn't know when it happened to me first time at 2 months out. or at 4.5 months out, finally last episode at 5.5 months out. NEVER AGAIN after.

BE WELL VAL...and lay off the CARBS (carbohydrates mean sugar and starch right!)

hmmm, interesting to know that its not just feeling like you are going to vomit...I have felt like "Drunk" one night when i ate too much... and like i needed to lay down..I wonder if that was dumping i was experiencing...
