Is It Normal?

Four weeks post-op and I'm down 27lbs, this is great but I can't say I'm completely thrilled about the way the weight has come off. In the last 4 weeks I have only been able to keep a few things down. I just started on soft solid foods, however I have decided to stick with liquids a little while longer. It seems like everything I put in my mouth comes right back up. Its really starting to become annoying. Even water, tea, and milk come back up. I get this really thick mucus like saliva that comes up right after I try to drink or eat something. Is this esophagus reflux? I don't have heartburn or anything, and I have never had acid reflux. I not sure what the heck is going on but its really getting on my nerves. I just want eat a little something and not be worried about spitting it back up.

i know a girl who has a near impossible time keeping anything down due to esophageal spasms and she takes valium to counter this before she eats.

id bring this up to your surgeon and see what he/she says.

Doesn't sound normal to me, check with your surgeon.

Call your surgeon NOW! Not to alarm you, but this is NOT normal. Your internal stitches have not healed yet and vomiting anything up (you've got 'sliming' and it's the mucus your esophagus produces) can cause complications with your band at this point. Please call them today and let them know what is going on...you made need a small unfill until you heal. -BG

Thanks guys for the advice. I did see my doctor and he thinks it's still really soon, doesn't think there's anything wrong. Did some blood work, have to go back on April 15th. I must say things have gotten little better, been able to get some food down which is awsome. I'm down 40lbs after 8 weeks I guess I can't be too mad about that. I'll keep chugging along. Good luck to everyone.
