Gremlin Slime 5 Months Out. Feedback?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everybody

I am experiencing a very thick, clear slime following any food or beverage. I haven't had a fill in over a month and it became more pronounced AFTER I had my most recent follow-up appointment with my surgeon on Friday (no fill, I'm at 6cc's in a 10cc band and this is where I will stay for awhile). It is also TOM so I'm curious if I'm a little tighter combined with some allergy mucus production.

I will PB to move the mucus and then get food down. But I'm not getting much food or beverage down (which is fine with me) But I'm not sure this is normal protocol. Is this something I should call the Dr about or is this normal during allergy season? Maybe I wait a few days til TOM passes? What are your experiences with this crazy, heavy, plopping, sinking nasty slime?

Thanks all for input.

Hi:

So you had a visit from the infamous "spit snake"! Yikkes! Yes, there are problems with people getting tight if they have allergies because your passages become narrower. Also, the mucus that your body makes to fight the allergies coats your passages.

You may want to get a slight unfill to keep you more comfortable during allergy season. Cold liquids can bring my spit snake out. Warm liquids and the spit snake stays away.

Best wishes.

Sue

      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?
