Spitting up alot of saliva

JC, did the surgeon say anything about what might have been causing your problem? Was it just post-surgical swelling and spasms, or was there something else going on? Did they do anything to treat it?

Glad to hear you're OK and feeling better!!

Hey Alexandra,

My surgeon said it was just that the shake was too thick to deal with right now. That was his reason. I really think it was all due to swelling. Yesterday I had a fish broth, and I even went ahead and crumbled some crackers in it. It took me about 3 hours to have the whole thing, but it felt really good to actually have some nutrition, not the crap from the hospital. So I guess it's all getting better now.

I got pretty scared though for a little while, he told me if things didn't get better he'd probably have to go in and remove the band. That would've sucked.

Anyways, thanks for all your answers.
