Almost 9 years Post-Op
WORTH IT
I'm almost 9 years post op. Still weighing in at 190 lbs. Dumping is now a non-issue. There are still things i can not eat. Pasta and sugar are the main culprits. I tend to stay away from them 350 days a year but there is always those days where i try and sneak some in. Still the best decision i've ever made.

Still dumping aftern 6 years
I am 6+ years post-op and i still experience dumping when i eat certain foods/drinks. Immediately after surgery it felt like almost everything i ate would make me dump but the main reason was i was so used to eating bad foods that it spilled over to my post-op eating habits. After getting sick almost constantly, i learned to change my ways. But every once and again i will tempt myself and sure enough i'll get sick. Its a good thing. Keeps me in line.
Good luck to everyone out there considering this as a way to get healthier and extending their lives. I wish i had done mine 10 years earlier. Best of luck on your journey to those who have had it.

You look Great!!1 Good for you! I am 7 months out and have lost 60 Lbs. I would like to loose another 40 but will be happy with whatever I can get. I to feel so much better so much more energy. I never got sick but have sure felt like it a couple times. I just learned when to stop, like not one more bit or that will be it! I can't do noodles or any kind of pasta at all, but that's ok I wasn't much of a pasta eater before, but I do like a slice of bread once in awhile but can't do that very good either, but that's ok I have gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore. I like being healthier more then that slice of bread!!

congrats to you-I just had rny done in hamilton on Feb 24/15-I went from 278 at 5 9 frame to 178-down 100 pds in 6 1/2 mths-I have dumped 2 times-I have issues w sugar-sugar alcohol and certain types of meat-I have never ate pasta or rice and don't really plan too-I am glad I had the surgery but am starting to get bored of the same foods to which I am trying out new recipes-breakfast is my hardest meal as I can't do any type of breads. bagels or wraps-they sit nasty and eggs are not my friend I dont eat cereal either and can't do bacon or sausage-I usually eat alot of greek yoghurt from the states as they are 12 g of protein and fruit. Congrats on being successful for so long. I am glad I did the surgery only sorry I didnt do it 10 yrs ago I was 43 when I had it done.

Santino, about 2+ years ago I reached out to you on this board and asked you a ton of questions about this whole process. You were so generous and open with the information and personal sharing, and talking about my concerns. You played a part in me deciding to go forward with the procedure. Almost 2 years now post op, down 150 pounds, keeping it off, and could not be happier about it. Thank you very much for your help and encouragement.
