Does 'dumping-type symptoms' increase after the sleeve?
Ever since I had my gallbladder taken out, I have suffered from dumping type behavior. Common I guess with the removal of your gallbladder. I will be fine one second, and the next I will have to find a bathroom RIGHT NOW or I am in trouble (preceeded by hot flashes, stomach cramping, getting clammy, etc).
Is this going to get worse after?
My wife (RNY 8 months ago) had her gallbladder out i think two or three years ago. She just had a gallbladder-dumping episode the other night, the first I've heard of in a long time. She doesn't experience any of the sweating, salivating, wanting-to-vomit symptoms that I have felt (VSG 9 months ago) when I've had my two or three little VSG-dumping episodes. She just has to run to the bathroom. I guess it will depend on what you eat and how much and how fast.
VSG 10/26/12 • HEIGHT 5'4"
GW = 140 lbs met Month 9
CW = 133 lbs
Loss per Month: 8 > 9 > 7 > SURGERY > 15 > 10 > 10 > 10 > 7 > 5 > 6 > 6 > 5 > 5 > 0
It works if you work it; it sorta works if you sorta work it; and it doesn't work if you don't work it.
Have not had any of that at all...ever. Nor have I ever had the foamies or vomiting or...anything. I sometimes feel like I haven't really 'experienced' ALL of the VSG...only the weight loss. Literally nothing else. Oh...and no hair loss either.

I had my gall bladder out decades ago and I don't remember ever having a dumping episode from it. I quit eating the greasier cuts of pork (ribs) because they gave me severe indigestion after having my GB out.
I have had two sweaty, shakey type of episodes about a year after my VSG surgery but that was from eating something sweet. I rarely eat sugary foods now so have not had any reactions in a couple of years.
Have you ever been able to associate your episodes to something specific you ate?

No, I wish I could. :(
