The dumping you get with the GBS is from fatty foods and sugary foods. Also you can get it by eating too fast or too much. I have the problem of eating to quickly.

Ideally you should be able to eat your meal in 30 minutes. I usually end up making it to 15 and its gone. I need to slow down.

Not everyone dumps either.

The band that they are using right now has only been approved by the FDA for a few years and isn't as good as the one they are using in Europe that they are trying to get the FDA to approve it to be used here in America. I have also heard it is very easy to eat around the band meaning eat things you aren't supposed to. You don't have anything hanging out of your body its a port in your side that the doctor inserts a needle and adjusts the tension in the band using saline.
