Susannah, I am a chat/blog virgin, but was really lucky to conduct a search to find this site. I have been looking for the bandsters in Australia for some time now. You refer to sliming, I think I know what you are referring to. I had my band put in in Nov 06, lost 15kgs, fell pregnant and delivered a beautiful baby boy in late October 07. So I never really had the chance yet to see ultimate success with the band, but I have always had this problem with a dense viscous vomit (sorry) that comes at will, before, during or after eating, sometimes after a sip of water only. Have you been able to find anyone who actually knows what this is, why it happens and how to fix it? It has been driving me mental, and even though I am gi-normous (huge) I suspect that I may be malnourished as I can not get good foods down (interestingly I never struggle with chocolate ...). If you can point me in any direction, I cannot tell you how much I would appreciate it.
