Has anyone ever experienced dumping syndrom 'before' surgery?

I have experienced {on occasion} the exact description to a Tee of dumping and I have 'not' had surgery yet. I never knew it had a name I always refered to it as 'my episodes'. I can't say if they happen after I have eaten sugar or not. It usually, but not always, happens to me at night after I go to bed. In fact it wakes me up and then I'm in the restroom 'FOREVER' all the while feeling so weak I can barley speak, I'm sweating, have severe cramping and gurguling in my abdomen. And it ALWAYS is accompanied w/ horrible diarhea episodes. Sometimes it lasts 30 min to an hour and sometimes after going back to bed I'm back in the bathroom again 15 to 20 min later. Has anyone experienced these symptoms PRE-op. I'm worried if I do this now 'before' surgery, will I experience this even worse 'after' surgery?? Any and all responses will be greatlty appreciated.
