Default Dump?

My question is really about dumping. I got the gastric bypass instead of the lap band to have the dumping syndrome. But I've already tested the pouch and nothing. So I was wondering - what the hell?

Also I forgot to mention that unlike most people i've heard about, I am able to drink right before and after meals. Again - what the hell?
Sorry if I've misunderstood but are you saying you chose the GB so that you could have the dumping syndrome? If so, why would you wish to dump? You sound almost disappointed that you didn't dump. Have I not understood you correctly?
