This case report discusses dumping syndrome in the postbariatric
mother. Diagnostically a challenge, the symptoms
of postprandial hypoglycaemia mimic common early
gestation complaints and may go undiagnosed, thus
requiring a high index of suspicion. As weight-loss surgery
gains traction, it is pertinent to note at booking and followups.
The pregnancy is at-risk and multidisciplinary team
management is central. The mainstay of management
remains diet modification. There have been case reports of
successful medical treatment of dumping syndrome in
pregnancy with good maternal and fetal outcomes. However,
more data is needed regarding the usage of these medical
treatments in pregnancy.
