drehn88 251 Posted July 11, 2013 Just curious... Does anyone know the science behind the different "soft spots" people talk about? I haven't gotten there (yet), but if/when I do I would like to know what is going on in my body to do "that". Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lellow 1,713 Posted July 12, 2013 I can't speak for all the different types of 'soft stops' but my old soft stop was a dripping nose, and my doctor explained that it was food getting too high up in the esophagus that caused that. I now get hiccups sometimes since being rebanded, other people get shoulder tip pain, etc but I have no idea why those soft stops occur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stept04 465 Posted July 12, 2013 I have wondered if it has anything to do with the vegus nerve. Maybe when we eat to a certain point it applies more pressure to the nerve and depending on what spot of the nerve is touched it effects that corresponding area. Just a thought, I don't know for sure how it works. ~~~Stephanie 1 drehn88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
