I have found more and more people say similar, and even shared and article. It matches exactly what happened. BUT, I still will not play with it. I will let the DR office know about it and let them at least document it.

Please, at the very least, call your doctor. Passing out isn't normal, and none of us can diagnose you over the internet. If it turns out to be nothing, fine. Just don't take any chances.
Thank you! I will keep working on adding more fluid/salts.. Sleep, well, I will have to make a way with 12hr shifts & kids lol. I will find a way.
I completely agree with contacting your doctor, but to me this sounds like anemia, not dumping. The DS can cause anemia because we don't absorb iron normally, and/or you could be losing blood in your stool but not fast enough for it to be obvious. Make sure you get your blood count checked, and even consider a trip to the ER if you get worse, but hopefully it won't come to that.

Thank you Valerie,
Were hoping to get this done soon. Going to see Dr. Gary Anthone in Omaha, Ne. He did our mom's DS 6 1/2 years ago. We have a lot of faith in his abilities, it's just cost obviously (self pay) and what he thinks of her results with the sleeve and her other issues if she is a good candidate. Almost want to do it myself, been hovering around 300 now for a few years. Would love to drop the last 100 lbs or so, but one sibling at a time.
Thanks,
Bubba
