Hello! I was doing so good this morning at wor****il I had lunch with coworkers and we ordered Panera. I had 1/2 a chicken sandwich and a cup of clam chowdre. Of course this was too much food so I ended up getting the burps and that like regurgiating thing..you know the peristalsis..where the food seems like its coming back up? And your pouch makes all sorts of noise? Oh so embarassing when I am ina quite room with a patient and taking their bp! I have to admit I have drank fluids with food all along..I never wait. I guess I don't see whay I need to at 2 yrs out. Can someone explain this? And does anyone else get extremely tired after eating too much? Like gonna nap any second?? I know my own fault..AGAIN.

Hi Again,
    After reading your post carefully, I see you are further out than me. So take what I say with a grain of salt. When I dump I'm sicker than sick. I don't just have bad, bad reflux. I vomit. My doctor described it best when he said it feels like a heart attack because that pain at the pouch is sooo bad. It last quite a while and there is no way I'd be able to work for a few hours. Also there is sometimes (or most times for me) some stool problems shortly afterwords. So the name "dumping." What you are describing sounds more like the terrible feeling of over-stuffing our pouch.  I know you know all this and I'm not trying to teach you as I know there is much you can teach me. All I can do is give you what I think in terms of my short walk on this wonderful WLS journey.   Good luck on your continued sucess. Glad to meet you.    Mag
