I've been reading a ton on it and am scared I might be having the symptoms

Would it be possible to get some personal experiences from people who have gone through it? 
No story is too gross I promise

THANK YOU!

Lyss

p.s. hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend!

What do you mean by dumping? What are your symptoms? Do you have a stoma instead of your valve? As a RNYer whose had trouble with dumping, I can help I think, but I'll need more info.

I haven't had the DS, obviously, but my potential DS surgeon said that DSers dump too, just in the form of bowel issues rather than the type of dumping RNY causes.

Hi Lyss,

I used to "dump".  It happened for the first 10 months or so.  If I ate too much sugar (more than 35 grams) I'd get nauseous and dizzy and I'd want to do nothing but lay down.  It stopped happening about a month ago.

DS'ers don't tend to dump much??? Though it is possible.

Are you referring to potty issues? You mentioned "gross" which makes me think you are thinking dumping is pooping?

I'm literally hitting the potty after EVERYTHING I eat... I could have caught a stomach bug in Mexico (hope that's not it) but I am going more than a burly truck driver... So I'm assuming I'm not digesting what I eat since it comes right out.
