I have a question regarding long-term effects of

I'm a five month post-op, down 72 pounds (yea!), and was wondering? Does the "dumping" and lactose intolerance subside eventually? I'm pretty careful about what I eat, protein first, low fat, low carb, that sort of thing. But, I have been known to slip occasionally, having a small piece of candy or two (at the most). I know when I must stop, as I "dump". I was the epitome of a "sugar addict" and just a piece or two, every once in a while satisfies my craving. But, it seems that from what I've read, after the "honeymoon phase", things change. To be honest, I don't want the "dumping" to subside, as I think that this may be, in addition to much better eating habits, my salvation. If I know I will get sick, there will be more incentive to stay away from the bad stuff. Anybody out there who's been a post-op for a while know the answer? I know everyone's different, I'm just looking for peer experience. Thanks!
