I had my surgery back in January and have yet to quite get the hang of things. I did a little research and I think what I'm experiencing is sliming. But I do it all the time. Like I can't eat or drink anything to get stuck to begin with because I can't get anything down.

This happens a lot and sometimes for several days at a time. I am currently on my 3rd day of not being able to get down anything but a few sips of Water. I've been going through this for 7 months now and it would be wonderful if anyone had any insight into what is going on!

You are probably too tight, you need to have a very small unfill. They say even a tiny unfill makes all the difference.

I have been too tight and vomited blood from throwing up too much. I do not slime and have only done it once in a year. But a friend of mine slimes all the time when she is too tight but has never vomited in her year.

My restriction on my band is different everyday. Sometimes I can eat in the morning and sometimes I am gurgling my coffee down in the morning. You can hear it gurgle!! Somedays I can not eat at all, until evening. Keep us all posted as to what you do, but I think a small unfill will help you, just like .2.ccs or .3ccs. Nothing drastic. I would call your Dr and discuss it with him or her.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
