Livingdeadgirl72 0 Posted August 23, 2020 I am 2 years post op and I have some very unusual symptoms after I eat. My nose runs, I get sinus congestion and I sneeze. Am I totally alone or can anyone explain this to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted August 23, 2020 oddly, for some people, that's their new "full" signal! (my full signal is just that I start feeling uncomfortable, for lack of a better word - but for others, it's things like a runny nose or sneeze. I know it's weird, but....) 1 1 sillykitty and Livingdeadgirl72 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I totally alone or can anyone explain this to me? This is very often the result of the vagus nerve being over-stimulated after eating to limit. The vagus nerve runs very close to the sleeve and is responsible for all sorts of things from hiccups to the vomiting reflex, sneezing and so on. Can also cause a vasovagal response (fainting). Try cutting back slightly on the amount you eat and see if the symptoms lessen. 1 Livingdeadgirl72 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Officially Not Fatty Matty 462 Posted August 24, 2020 I get terrible hiccups if I eat too much. Painful, hard to breath, swallow reflex inhibited kind of hiccups. My wife thinks it’s hilarious (it is, even I laugh when they’re really REALLY loud). She says we’re not allowed to eat out until I learn to stop before they kick in :) 1 Livingdeadgirl72 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
