Hello Everyone! I think I had an experience of "dumping syndrome" yesterday! I know some people don't believe that VSG's can have it but I'm pretty sure I did. It was a horrible experience I thought my stomach was being torn in two! I was sweaty, my heart was beating rapidly I actually was having difficulty breathing for a while and thought I might need to go to the hospital, I had bloating, then vomiting and diarrhea (sorry if that's TMI) but the worst part was the pain! I actually thought I might die! My DH and DM were so worried about me they thought I might too. Whew! I'm feeling better now - not 100% but so much better.

Thank you italianspice, I'm working on it! I was eating my tuna and it just didn't like it so I threw it out! Not forcing anything down that my tummy is against! :)

I am glad you are feeling better.

Dumping is due to the missing pyloric valve after RNY. So it was something else.

I hate to puke ! If it were me I would try to narrow it down so it doesn't happen again. Was what you ate higher in carbs or fat? Or something you never tries before? Any of these can cause problems

I'm sure it was what I ate, how I ate it and how fast I ate it..won't make that mistake again. Thanks for weighing in.

anyone can dump even non-op can dump. It can happen when the pyloric valve opens too early..and dumps whatever is in the stomach into small intestine..
