So after taking a bite of my daughters hot dog today and knowing I shouldn't it got stuck. I was banded may 1 and this was my first experience with something like this. I immediately threw up. For a few hours after that I kept throwing up a clear foamy slime. Now it's 7 hours later and if I even take a sip of Water I spit up this clear slimy foam.

Has anyone ever had this happen

I'm not a lap band patient. I actually had RNY surgery (gastric bypass), but I had a similar experience. I ate something I shouldn't and had the exact same issue of the white slimy foam. It lasted until the next day. Just keep trying to drink your fluids so you don't get dehydrated and if it continues thru tomorrow call your doctor. Hope this helps.

You probably still have a piece stuck. Stop trying to eat or drink. Try sucking small quantities of crushed ice. It may help to reduce the swelling enough that the item will eventually move through. If not you will have to go and see your Dr to get some fill taken out - you do not want to end up dehydrated.

Try to sleep proped up that way it can still work its way down threw the night and you dont have a huge pool of spit getting trapped behind it in your band. Middle of the night choking is never fun.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
