I had the same thing just last week after a bout with a stomach virus. It was so bad I could not keep even Water down. Finally 2 days ago I saw my doctor & he took all the water out of my balloon. he says my vomiting with the stomach virus probably caused the band to slip. I had an upper gi today & will go see him again next week, I am scared to death he will have to leave the water out or else I will need another surgery.

i have been really struggling after my last fill, as a result i get the foam quite often , more so in the morning than evening. i should get it relaxed but the weight loss is good. if you recently had a fill this may be the cause

Its just saliva mixed with air, nothing to worry about. It is probably indicating that you've eaten to much or not chewed properley as your body produes extra saliva to try and slide the food through.

elcee is 100% correct ...... the dreaded foamy slime!

This has happened to me when I eat too much, don't chew well, or eat foods I can no longer tolerate after being banded and have restriction.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
