Anyone Have Mucas But No PB's?



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Weird things going on in my throat for weeks now. I have mucas build up, but it's not a PB. Kind of like when you have a bad cold. I am clearing my thraot so much it's sore. This happens all day and at night, I'm not sleeping well.

Thanks

I just finished eating dinner and the mucas is flowing into my throat after eating and I'm having to clear it constantly. This is defo band related. My band area feels sore too.

I have been having a real problem with mucas also. When I do PB, it's almost all mucas, little food. I constantly feel like I have a cold or something.

its because when u have eaten ya tummy becomes blocked and the natural saliva u swallow has no where to pass to so it builds up, and comes back up as it cant pass thro your stomach

If it's sore, my money is on esophagitis. Too swollen, try to eat solids again, agitate the already irritated esophagus til finally, it will close up on you. :wacko: Please contact your doctor and remain on liquids until he tells you something different.

Thanks Leatha. It is sore. Have you ever had it?

I'm trying, but I can't seem to get a call back. It's the office staff not getting the messages through I think. :-(

Hey Jack!

Thank you for your responses.

I talked to the nurse, who spoke with the doctor. They think I have irritated my pouch and esophagus due to eating too fast and too large. They don't want to do an unfill just yet, as it has 1.5 cc in a 4 cc band. They want me on liquids for 3 days, and if it's still not better, they will have me go to the ER for an unfill.

I have bad asthma, so yes as someone pointed out, the lungs are a concern.

When I went for my fill on Wednesday they were talking about this very issue. They said to drink something warm to break up the mucus and to open the stomach opening. They also said to avoid cold things and dairy products. I guess dairy products build mucus? Sinus drainage can also cause problems.

Hope you get better soon.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
