I swear I am a CERTIFIED CHOCOHOLIC! What I am wondering is if gastric bypass will help me with this problem?

Well, from what I've heard (I'm lapband) RNY people have a problem with "dumping" if they eat too much sugar. I have a friend who had RNY and she still does her chocolate! She buys kisses so she can have a little, rather than so much she gets sick.

No that isnt true, I had RNY almost 2 years ago and sugar is not the reason for dumping for me... its salsa.... just a tiny bit and there it goes.. I can eat tomatos but not salsa of any kind....sugar isnt necessarily the culprit,its alcohal {sp} sugars that usually cause dumping... and not everyone does it.... I have 3 sisters and 1 brother that had RNY and they have never dumped. Chocolate may give you gas... as its the "fat" or 'shortning'thats in it to cause it.... Peggysue

Some things are better rich.. coffee, men, chocolate
