Is dumping a desired side effect or not?

I am scheduled for an open RNY in 6 weeks. The nutritionist I met with yesterday told me that dumping is not a desired consequence of the surgery. Sparrow Weight Management Center really pushes the intuitive eating stuff (you know, eat when you are hungry, stop when you're full, eat what you want to feel satisfied). She said that if you dump, you'll be deprived of sugar which can lead to overeating. I guess my thought is that I want this surgery BECAUSE it causes dumping. If I could eat intuitively on my own, I wouldn't need the surgery!! Any one else get this from their nutritionist?
