Dumping Syndrome

by BNL, May 14, 2008 10:20PM
I've been having a few problems with my stomach after surgery, I had my gall bladder removed. My dad was talking to one of the girls we work with who is a nurse & she suggested Dumping Syndrome. Does anyone know what this is? Or if that is what it could be?

I've been having severe stomach aches, a sharp pain in my right side, I haven't been able to eat with out getting sick.

I am going to see my surgeon tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated!! I have also been looking around on WebMD and Google, but i was wanting some personal experiences exct.

You may want to consider sticking to very low fat foods while your system adjusts to what's going on. You'll won't be able to process fats as you did before surgery and it could take some time to adjust. In addition, your regulation of bile may be 'off' and bile acts as a large intestine irritant which can promote diarrhea.

But talk to your surgeon about the pain. If any sludge or small stones escaped into the common bile duct during surgery they can be causing the pain. That may need to be remedied.
