I've been sleeved for 10 weeks and my gag reflex is out of control. Every time I brush my teeth I have to be extra careful not to gag myself and throw up. It also happens when I cough too hard.

I had staples and dissolvable stitches in all 6 of my incisions. 18 staples total and I had them taken out after 2 weeks. It was a little uncomfortable having them removed but it was a great relief because they were getting very itchy.

For the past week or so I have had a build up of saliva in the back of my throat which makes me feel the need to clear it constantly. I am 4 weeks post-op today and it happens whether I have just eaten or not. It doesn't seem to be foamy and nothing feels stuck, just more of a collection of slime that I'm always trying to cough up. Anybody else having this feeling?
