poll - what did your surgeon tell you about dumping?
Nothing was stated by my surgeon or the nut about dumping or RH, or at least I have no recollection of it.
I do remember a support group meeting where it was discussed, as well as foaming. However, it was discussed as if it was completely avoidable and not something to worry about.

That not everyone dumps, but no indication of how low the number was... {sigh...} I really ID want to (and expect to) be a dumper. One of the VERY few failings of my pre-op education.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I was told everyone has a tolerance limit. Some just happen to be significantly higher than others. And that all patients will push to find that limit not once, but at least twice. Some with really low tolerance, the 30% will find out quickly.
I agree with him. I have a pretty high sugar tolerance, but I can push that limit and it's not pretty.

The NUT used the 50% stat when she told me. However, my friend had her surgery 2 1/2 years ago and she gave me the "real" story - which was real for her. She dumps on fat and sugar except for dark chocolate! Can you imagine? I pray this is NOT a food that I can tolerate after surgery!
