Did I just dump? Or is it a panic attack?
I didn't think I was a dumper. Well I just had one of those Atkins treats. And about 3 minutes after I had it I started sweating like crazy and feeling jittery and my heart racing. Took about 20 to 30 mins to go away. I haven't dumped before and I have been having carbs like that before. So could this be a panic attack and unrelated or could I have actually dumped? As I do get them now and than. (panic attacks) I'm just almost 3 months post op.

If you had VSG, you probably didn't dump since people with pyloric valves typically don't dump. You might have been reacting to sugar alcohols in the treat, though. I doubt an Atkins treat would have enough sugar to cause dumping, anyway.

I small percent do dump. See the VSG boards on dumping.
