I Need Help!! Slime And Mucus!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone so I got a fill last Friday, and was fine up until Tuesday. I started to have a slimy in my throat and mouth. It's causing me to not keep anything food or liquids down. I'm constantly throwing up, and spitting up this nasty discharge. Is there any suggestions on how to stop this? I've been without food and liquids for three days and I'm desperate. I've called the doctor and he's not available. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated!!! :(((

All I can say is keep calling the doctor. I'm pretty new at this fill/green zone thing, but it sounds like maybe you're too tight? Keep on your doctor. If he isn't available ask for a partner or their nurse/MA.

Sounds like you need an unfill. Be persistent in getting this resolved ASAP.

I agree with Jen, your doctor/nurse should take you in for an un-fill immediately! This happened to me, and they took me in the next day!

You might just have a little swelling. If your doctor is unavailable, put yourself back on liquids for a few days. Try drinking cold beverages. It will help reduce the swelling. If it isn't any better after 3 or 4 days go for an unfill. I'm sure your doctor will be available by then.

If you haven't had liquids in 3 days, call your surgeons office and tell the answering service this. If they are non-responsive call your primary care doctor, or go to the ER!!

NOW.

Dehydration is nothing to mess with. You are too tight. Get help.

I agree with Cocoabean. 3 days is long enough and you prob aren't going to get better. I had that happen last month too and tried to wait it out. Waited until Thursday and unfort they were in surgery on Friday so I waited til Tuesday to get some out. It was a long wait! I'd get in as soon as possible.

So I ended up finding a different doctor and he did an un-fill. Let me say that I feel soooo much better! I was WAY too tight. I'm going to stick with this doctor bc the doctor I was previously with was a total jerk. They just kept ignoring me! This new doctor offered to monitor me and he is so much closer than my previous doctor. Thanks for the advise everyone. It's much appreciated!

      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. 🤞
