What is sliming?

When food gets stuck the body secretes mucus to help it go down, since its stuck already, it just makes it worse and won't stop until the blockage is gone.

It's also known a as pb (productive burping). If you want a sense of what is like, look up the hag fish on YouTube

Yes, when I get stuck, I try walking first, then I will PB if necessary. I do not go out to eat very often for this very reason, but truth be told it is my own fault when it happens. When I do go out to eat, I usually order Soup or a baked potato or a crab cake, things I know won't get stuck. This is not for the faint of heart!

I've had my band for 3 years and food still gets stuck. I'm having it adjusted again. I lost only 20 lbs. Very disappointed with the band.

Have you been going in for regular followup Dr visits and what does the Dr say?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
