Dumping & Diabetes

Does anyone know if you are predisposed to dumping if you have diabetes prior
to surgery?

    Hi Shelley,
    I wondered that one myself! I have had Type II Diabetes for close to 15
    years….and had my open RNY on 2/7/01…..I have yet to “dump”. And
    believe me….I’ve tested the boundaries. I wanted to know what it was
    like, I wanted that extra insurance policy that would help keep me on the
    straight and narrow…and I am one of the few who doesn’t seem to dump no
    matter what I’ve tried. I’m done testing, I just assume I don’t and am
    working on being as disciplined as I can so that I don’t go crazy since I
    can get away with it!
    Also, I was on 3 oral meds for diabetes and am now medication free!
    Actually was down to one med when I left the hospital with a reduced dosage
    and then about 2 months later completely med free and my Hemoglobin A1C is
    down to 6.4 as of my last lab work. :) Vicki
