I know dumping can lead to diaherrea, but how do you know the difference between both? And why would I have diaherrea every Wednesday morning? I don't eat for 1-2hours after getting up and I don't eat past 7pm the night before. It's strange, can anxiety cause diaherrea or am I dumping? I'm a little confused.
if it happens every Wednesday morning, then I would say it is emotional. What happens on Wednesday's that makes you anxious?
Dumping with RNY patients is not diarrhea. It is a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, shaking, loss of concentration, fainting, sweating or passing out.
It can by followed by diarrhea. That happens to me if I get dumping from ice cream or other high fat along with sugar.
Diarrhea caused by anxiety is a thing. Your brain might tell you that it is going to happen and then it does.
It is fine to treat the diarrhea with Imodium. The dumping you just have to wait out. I sit or lie down for about 15 minutes and it goes away.

Dumping usually happens very fast. If you're saying it's in the morning and you haven't eaten since the night before, it's probably not dumping. I think I read about delayed dumping but a think that's few hours not overnight. What does your doctor say?
Good luck finding the cause and be sure to stay hydrated!

I know I'm a little late responding, but when I was resting I was hot and cold. I would keep a fan near you, I did even with having central air I just couldn't get comfortable. I hogged all the pillows so I could sleep propped up. I also had everything in reach for when I got out of the hospital, like water, pots and pans, etc so I wouldn't have to bend or stoop down. I'd re-wash what I used to avoid doing many dishes.

Has anyone here had this done?
looking at having having this done but don't know when...just wondering about people's experience.
It is very understandable what you are going through. I struggled with an overheating phase pre-op as well. I thought long and hard about the pros and cons of my mind wanting to have a pre-op party before the "real" work began and the cons far outweighed the pros. So I wrote out the reasons I was having surgery vs what might happen to my health if I did not have the surgery and put the list on my fridge as a reminder. That helped me to stop binge eating even when I wasn't hungry. Was I dedicated to my new journey or not? I decided heck ya, I was and would be!

I have dated lots of non wls guys and never found it a problem (I'm married now)
I never discussed my surgery unless it was a serious exclusive relationship because frankly it's not anyone's business.
At 10 years plus I'm surprised you even bring it up.
Maybe consider why you feel a need to share this far out?
Good luck, I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found my gorgeous prince who loves me exactly as I am, wls and all.
