Do you dump?

I had surgery about eight or so months ago and I haven’t experienced dumping syndrome yet.  I’m very concerned about it to be honest.  I’m terrified I’ll eat the wrong thing in a public setting and mess my pants.  So, I tend to be very careful about what I eat when I’m outside my home.  I avoid sugary things like the plague.  However, I must admit that I eat my usual stuff at home.  I basically enjoy the same things I did before I got sleeved just in much smaller portions and even then I haven’t experienced dumping syndrome.  I can’t let go of the fear though. 

I ate a bunch of sugar in the beginning, way before I was supposed to be off the diet.  Literally, spoonfuls of sugar.  I felt jittery and my stomach ached and cramped for a long time afterward.  It didn’t affect anything else, but it sure scared me to death.  I haven’t had any problems since then.  What’s funny is that I didn’t even enjoy the sugar like I used to.  My mind just wanted it, I guess.

No, I’ve never experienced dumping syndrome.  I had surgery years ago and I’m not exactly the most careful person when it comes to eating in public, but so far it’s been fine.  I think I’ve been very lucky as I haven’t experienced any problems after having my sleeve procedure. 

Nope, never experienced this at all. I’ve been really bloated and horrible gassy but never dumped. I try to be really careful with what I’m eating. I’m not perfect but I have not had issues.

I am so glad to see so many “no” responses. I have worried about dealing with dumping. It sounds horrible, especially if other people are around. Then again, maybe my in-laws would stop coming over if I experienced dumping around them.
