Summary

The postprandial dumping syndrome is a frequent consequence of Roux-en-Y Gastric ByPass due to the rapid emptying of the stomach remnant in to the intestinal lumen. Dumping-related symptoms occur very early after eating (within 30 minutes), are not associated with concurrent hypoglycemia, and are most prominent in the early postoperative period. This syndrome very debilitating for the patient can be improved by dietary and nutritional recommendations. We hypothesize that a personalized approach based on dietary and nutritional recommendations conducted by a nurse would likely to decrease the frequency of dumping syndrome and improve the postoperative quality of life of patients in the early postoperative period.

Detailed description

The Roux-en-Y Gastric ByPass is considered the gold standard of weight loss surgery and is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide.The postprandial dumping syndrome is a frequent consequence of gastrojejunal anastomosis due to the rapid emptying of the stomach remnant in to the intestinal lumen. Dumping-related symptoms occur very early after eating (within 30 minutes), are not associated with concurrent hypoglycemia, and are most prominent in the early postoperative period. The symptoms of dumping syndrome include nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dizzy spells, weakness and cold sweats either with or after eating.This syndrome very debilitating for the patient can be improved by dietary and nutritional recommendations. We hypothesize that an individualized approach based on dietary and nutritional recommendations and monitoring of patients conducted by a nurse in the first three months after surgery would likely to decrease these problems and improve the postoperative quality of life of patients.
