Why is it some people dump and others don't???

I seem to belong to the non-dumping group. I'm a distal RNY and I just can't understand, with all that amount of intestine bypassed (5'), WHY I don't dump. Darn it! And I'm a weak-willed person, so it's harder for me in the will-power department. Also I was wondering, can one not have dumping at first, and then acquire it later on? Or is it safe to say that if you don't have dumping from the start, then you won't develop it later? I'm almost 8 weeks post-op now. I btw have lost 61 lbs. so far & I'm thrilled!
