Dump on purpose?? WHAT??!! (Xpost)
I'm able to eat chocolate, ice cream, etc without dumping so I have no idea, never dumped.

I'm not sure if the person at your doc's office meant that they ENJOY the dumping or if they WANT dumping so that they have a scary reason to not indulge in sweets or fats. Lots of people post on the main board about how they "hope they are among the lucky 30-50% of RNYers who dump, so they can stay on the right path with their RNY."
I honestly think that is not healthy thinking and it makes me doubly glad that I got the DS--no dumping, just yummy food.
The emcee at the OH June conference told a "funny" story in the main ballroom about how he would bring a garbage can near his bed, lay out sweets and indulge, knowing full well that he would/could dump for hours. People in the audience laughed appreciably and he said "you know you do it, too" to much laughter in the audience. That might have been the least funny thing I'd heard in a while.
