What Type Of Aversion Reactions Occur After A Gastric Bypass?
Consuming high concentrations of fats or sugars after surgery will cause the patient to experience an unpleasant sensation called Dumping Syndrome. This consists of sweating, a feeling of nausea and sometimes vomiting, dizziness, and weakness. This sensation will last until the body has digested the fats and/or sugars. This reaction may be avoided by eating a non-fat or low-fat and non-sugar or low-sugar diet. The desire to avoid an aversion reaction usually helps the bypass patient remember to make healthy food choices, which increases their chances of achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight.
