Sliming usually happens when something gets stuck or a fill is to tight. You swallow but it can't get through your stomach, makes a u-turn and you throw up. It is slimy. And pretty gross.

Thank you for explaining that. So this is different than being stuck? There are so many expression I have had to learn, like LMAO

Okay, is it, this is gross, but I need to know - sick - is it mucus or regular vomit or exploding or what?

Vomiting is bad, so sliming is bad.

Somehow I thought sliming was different.............. yuck

When it happened to me it was mostly mucus and saliva. This happenes because there is no where for these fluids to go. If your band is to tight nothing can get through. The same if something gets stuck, which is what happened to me. I was the victim of a stubborn Vitamin and puked for 2 hours. You will know when you are to tight or if something is stuck just by the way your saliva or anything else feels when it tries goes down.

I am not sure about anyone else, but it wasn't projectile for me. I know, TMI, but different things happen to different people. You will also find that the same things happen to different people. We share symptoms. That is one of the many great things about this site. You will hear lots of advice from everyone and get terrific support as well. Good luck!

Thanks for explaining. I know omg - too gross, but these are the things you need to know. I take two VERY large medications and I am starting to think about what I will need to do. I heard some take children's chewable, is that an option?

Some take childrens Vitamins, I take Centrum chewables, orange flavored. There is also a liquid form of Centrum, tastes gross though. They were talking about the Gummy childrens vitamins as well. Talk to your PCP about liquid forms of meds you need to take. Mine prescribed a liquid pepcid when I told him I couldn't swallow pills.< /p>

      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.
