Hi

I discovered this site last evening while reading about Lap Band surgery. I have started the journey and hope to be banded in mid July. I have appts. with nutritionist, psychologist and surgeon in April. I am very nervous but find that this is a common emotion. Alot of people on the site have faced the same thing. I look forward to exchanging ideas on this site. One question....what is sliming?

Well, it's pretty gross ... hasn't happened to me but it happened to my friend a week ago. If you eat too much and there's no room in your little pouch for anything else, it sits. Your body starts to produce a lot of saliva trying to wash it away. Or if you eat something that sticks, the same thing happens. Usually followed by a PB episode -- that's productive burping. Not vomiting (no heaving involved) -- it just slides back up and out.
