THROAT CRAMPS - for lack of better descripton!

tinker0614 · April 16, 2007

I just had a second fill...the first didn't seem to do anything. I could still eat what I wanted, when I wanted. Now, I am not sure what is happening but have had what I can best describe as a severe throat cramp. Now I know there is a better name for it but the darn thing hurts like *$(*#. I don't know if it is because I ate something that I shouldn't have and it doesn't agree or did I eat too fast. All I know is that I don't want it to happen again. It takes my breath away! Mouth waters like Niagra Falls but nothing else happens. I was in New Orleans this weekend and embarassed myself something awful! I was eatting with no problem then all of a sudden my eyes got big and this moaning started that I didn't think I would ever be able to stop! The people next to us thought I was having a heart attack. I have to laugh now but boy was it a sight! WHAT IS THAT? Anyone have that happen before?

I think what you're describing is sliming. You probably ate too fast and didn't chew properly and it got caught on the band. I've done it once and had exactly the same symptoms as you except that I regurgitated everything that was in my pouch. I've slowed my eating right down and I haven't had it happen again.
