Anyone Have Mucas But No PB's?

NeenBand · August 24, 2006

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.
