So is it just me? I have discovered a little vasovagal response that when I eat a little more than I should, I wanna sneeze...LOL...

Don't laugh..ok..go ahead and laugh but I guess it's better than puking at the table. I am 9 months out and just started having this issue. Not complaining. I just find it interesting...

It is normal for some people, my x-boyfriend had that issue and he never even had WLS, sometimes the after dinner sneezing was just uncontrollable, but hilarious. ;) At the time I had googled it and this was an article that I thought was very helpful - http://www.everydayhealth.com/internal-medicine-specialist/sneezing-after-dinner.aspx

Oh, honey!,, it's been the NORM for me since the beginning ! Once a certain amount of food "hits" a certain spot I begin to sneeze. Usually at least 8-9 TIMES! Yep, always! Drives my husband nuts. Like I can stop it! Lol. And the people keep saying, "Bless you"', "goodness". "Wow". Bahaha

Wow. This is so normal on the lapband board (which I used to frequent before my sleeve revision 11 mths ago) but had no idea it happened so much to sleevers also.

When I was sleeved, if I took 1 bite too much, I would hiccup - just once - to let me know I've had enuf. Now, nuthin. Cept a tummy ache if I take 1 bite too much.

I'm a sneezer! My husband thinks it's hilarious and try's to make me sneeze every time. This is what got me in this mess! First time I sneezed with real food, I wasn't expecting it and had a mouth full of food! It shot out like a cannon! I couldn't stop laughing, sneezing, and trying not to pee all at the same time! I'm a hot mess...but it is still funny! Good times!

Ah, yes, the sneezing, the hiccuping, the burping! I burped a lot when I started on solid food. Sometimes I still do the burping thing, but my new symptom is a really loud and squeaky hiccup. It's really embarrassing when I do it at work. It can be even 20 minutes after I've eaten. All is well, then suddenly... "HIC!" - the hiccuping didn't start until at least month 5 post op. So embarrassing. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
