I have tried the vanilla flavor and blended it with ice and bananas or frozen strawberries.

Topic: RE: Dumping
Hi Hazel, usually it is the refined sugar that causes dumping. Milk can also cause dumping. How do you like it in Norfolk? We have a quarterly teleseminar that you can go to the local  hospital to participate in. Let me know if you are interested and I will get information out to the hospital. Mona

Topic: RE: Dumping
Can it happen with other things than refined sugar.  Carbs for instance?  Did I tell you that I have moved to the Norfolk area?  Moved here to take care of my mother.

Hi Dana, go see your surgeon and have your pouch evaluated. Did you have bypass or banding? There are a few people who have had this happen. Good luck. Mona

Topic: RE: Dumping
Hi Hazel, symptoms of dumping include sweating, diarrhea, nausea and cramping. They do mimic low blood sugar. Dumping is caused from eating refined sugar and it dumps into the small intestine. It is not life threatening but extremely uncomfortable. Mona

Topic: Dumping
Can anyone out there tell me what what the symptoms of dumping are and what can cause it.  Can it mimic low or high blood sugar? Thanks.

Topic: RE: Requirements for Local Support Groups
Hi Jan, the support group should have at least 4 members to keep it going. As long as there is a need for a group and you are willing to keep it active it doesn't matter.  Members don't have to attend teleconferences but it gives you a chance to find out new information and get speakers that normally can't come to your group.  I plan on coming to Kearney next month. Hope this helps. Mona

Topic: Anyone have a revision performed?
I am 7 years post surgery and find myself only 30 lbs from my heaviest.  I started at 267 and lost to 169.  I am starting the process of finding options and was curious to see if anyone else has found themsevles in this situation.

Topic: Requirements for Local Support Groups
Is there a written set of guidelines for local support groups?

For instance: 
How many members does it have to have?
Does a certain number of members have to attend meetings to keep it active?
Are members required to attend TeleConferences?

Just curious....

JAN
