1 -- Dumping syndrome is typically self-limiting, and lasts 6 to 12 months after surgery; however, a small percentage of people continue to experience long-term symptoms. A small percentage of postoperative patients may continue to have dumping syndrome. Treatment options for dumping syndrome include dietary modifications. A clear liquid diet is not recommended as a treatment for postoperative dumping syndrome.
