Why can't I drink and eat -- The Answer

I can't view the video. Could you send me the link to it on you tube? Thanks!

I really liked the video, but isn't that for LapBand people? The "Pouch" he talks of is the upper stomach above the band. The sleeve has no upper stomach. I'm confused now. LOL

Wow thank you so much that really helps me. I appreciate it. Do you mind if I share this? Thanks again.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I knew to drink but always assumed it was so you had room for the proper food.

This makes so much sense!

The sleeve often has an upper "pouch". After surgery, the stomach kind of looks like vertical barbells: a little pouch at the top with a tube connecting it to a little pouch on the bottom.

Definitely! That was a truly helpful thing to see. For my own clarity, is that 'dumping'?

**Truffles** · 05-05-2013 10:17 AM

No. Dumping is something else.

Dumping occurs when something that doesn't agree with your system gets ingested. You get the flop sweats, light-headed, and then you have to run to the washroom. Your body evacuates, rather quickly, whatever was in your stomach and intestines, through your bowel.

Dumping is more common with gastric bypass people but it does occur with gastric sleevers, too. For us, I think it is more common during the early stages. I've had only one episode of dumping and I think I was 6 or 7 weeks out when it happened.

It's been awhile so here's a bump for the newbies.

Dang! That was so easy. Now why can't they show that to us at our pre-op classes?
