Slimming? Vomit?

[Sannah 258]

I want to get the sleeve and I have started my process. I researched lap band too and I am not interested. In this research lap banders talked about sliming, frequently not being able to swallow vegetables, and a feeling of food stuck in the throat.

I have not read about these problems on the forum. Have you had any of these feelings or experiences?

Hi! Yeah, unfortunately people who have the sleeve can get the slimes. I experienced this when I was first introducing solid food IF I ate too fast or too much. It is not fun. ;(. I now am super mindful about how fast I'm eating and I don't run into this problem anymore.

Although for different reasons, "sliming" or "foaming" is possible with the sleeve. If you eat too fast or too much you may slim, foam, or vomit (or all of the above).

It happened to me less than 5 times. And it hasn't happened since 3 months out.

I get this almost every time I eat.

Had this happen a couple of times my first month on solids, then it went away. Came back twice this week, both times with pills I take with swig of Water before/during meal. The first time it happened I had that horrible pain in chest for 20 minutes. Now I know it's better to just stand over a sink and let the slime come up, feel better right away.

Wow!!! So slim does happen. Sounds like eating slow is key.

Is the slim like saliva? Stomach Fluid?

Sounds very unpleasant.

I am wondering the same thing? What is the slim?

[danyelleb 386]

Slime is extra thick and slimy saliva. When sliming I produce the "slime" in excessive quantities. I would need to spit every minute or so. It's super gross. On one occasion I tried to vomit in order to move past the sliming. It was the weirdest experience. I vomitted up very buoyant bubbles of slime. Weirdest thing ever!

[Sannah 258]

Ok. Yes. It does sound gross and very weird. Thanks for sharing!!! I hope you don't experience this again.

Just curious, Is vomiting any different after having VSG? I haven't thrown up since before surgery and always wondered.

Had both of these things happen to me but ONLY when i overate or didn't chew well. Haven't had it happen in over a year and even before then it was maybe once a month. Usually when I was very hungry and ate fast. Lesson learned! I compare it to having gas, it's really not that awful or big of a deal.
