Frothing

[BigDogVSG 34]

Not sure how to describe this. I'm three days out from my sleeve, and one curious and annoying side effect is a kind of light, bubbly reflux, kind of like a frothing. Tis obviously tells me I'm full, but does anyone have insight into this one?

I'm pre-op, but from what I've read, it's called sliming. It's excess, foamy saliva and pretty common if someone eats too much or doesn't chew we'll enough or eats too fast.

That is great info, thank you, and it confirms that I am probably doing something too quick or too much. Thanks for the hint. When is your surgery?

No specific date, but sometime in June. I'm almost done with my 6 month supervised diet that my insurance company requires.

Sliming is different than the frothing. I had slimed once after eating too fast two weeks post op, you get slimy spit that comes up from your stomach which is slick, not bubbly like the froth. however the frothing was a near constant from about 6 weeks out when I became very ill. I spent 6 weeks ill until I finally went to the ER, 6 days later I had my gallbladder removed. From the day after my gallbladder was removed to this day 2 months later I have not had the frothing at all. I don't know what the relation is if any, but it is odd.
