Anyone here have issues with dumping?
Hey, I am currently almost 4 months out band to sleeve revision. I am doing great and am down almsot 55lbs. My question is does anyone here have issues with dumping. I had read before that it wasn't common but some sleeve people do. The reason I ask is that I do slightly dump. I have noticed when I have eaten a little too much sugar I get sick to my stomach and end up in the bathroom a little bit later. For example, I drank what I thought was a SF latte the other day and about 3/4 of the way through started feeling sick. I have also done this with greasy foods and something in the low carb slim fast. Anyone else here have similar experiences?

The latte sounds like my sudden lactose intolerance. My surgeon recommended taking a probiotic to encourage good gut flora. I haven't had any dumping due to sugar though, just issues with dairy since surgery that are, thankfully, finally getting better.

I TOTALLY know what you mean!! If I have a little too much, or something sweet that my stomach doesn't agree with then I puke. I went to the fair the other day and tried to do really good, had corn on the cob, just a few bites of chicken and rice, then later in day strawberry short cake. I don't know if that was too much or too sweet but I felt dizzy and even laid down on the grass, but it came up. But after I threw up I felt better. It became like poison in me until I "dumped it" and I didn't eat much of the sweet stuff. Tried to eat just the strawberries. But I eat fruit in my smoothies all the time, including strawberries. So I think it was a little too sweet and a little too much. I have it a lot if I eat a little too much. Its been helping me not want to eat more than about 3 or 4 bites of any thing. I am liking it.
I had a bad day when I ate a pastry and a chocolate bar. I was SO sick! Before, I could have eaten 10 times that much without any problem. Yup, I dump. And I'm glad!
