Had a fill the week before Thanksgiving and am having troubles. No matter what I eat, (tiny bites and lots of chewing), I have to immediately go throw up. (Sorry to be gross here) But what comes up is not the food. It's a LOT of mucus! It just keeps coming. I don't know if that's an indication that the fill is too tight or if this is normal. It's very thick like slime and then when I think I've gotten it all out, more comes. Anyone else ever experience this? Thanks!

I have my lapband done June 24. 2013 and I have lost weight but just had my 3 rd fill and omg I can't drink much and eat almost nothing ..its just so uncomfortable also feeling like a pain in my chest and omg I burp sooo much that's the only thing that helps...I've also been throwing up what ever little food does go down..idk if this is normal or if I should seek help...any one any suggestions...please...

Hey All:

Im hoping someone can help. From what im reading I have all the symptoms of 'sliming' which is making me gag just writing that. I think I may have a small blockage (stuck pill from earlier in the week) but food is going through - my biggest issue is this god forsaken post nasal drip. Im fine in the morning when I wake up but the second anything hits my mouth - the snot just starts pooling in the back of my throat and im gagging on it all day. Im gettin about 85% of my food down and then the rest is coming back up b/c the 'drip' is just gagging me beyond belief. I can't seem to snort it down, hot or cold liquids are helping very minimally - but im just disgusted with this already. Ive had a blockage before so I know what that feels like - but this snot issue is all new.

Was filled to 7cc on June 9th under fluro. First 3 liquid days - no problems. Next 3 days yogurt, mashed taters, scrambled eggs, quiche - no issues. Day 7 stuck pill from migraine - day 8 flushed blockage with big slug of Peanut Butter - blockage cleared. Since the 18th ive been off and on with what i cant get down and what i can but that's when this post nasal drip started. IM OVER IT.

I really don't want to call the dr if its nothing - but has anyone else experienced this? It only seems to happen when I start eating or drinking which is leaving me to believe its band related and not the onset of a sinus infection - which in that case I'll call my PCP. Hopefully someone out there has also experienced this and im not alone.

I've had my band for over 3 years and STILL have the mucus and sliming issue. It wakes me up at night just coming out. I have to change gowns and the bed. I'm so tired of it. I do not over eat or eat things I'm not supposed to . I can't find a reason for this. Any advice from anyone at all is appreciated.

I am having this issue now but I haven’t had a fill for a month. I feel like this is unusual

I've even had an unfill and put on a lot of weight trying to get some sleep. I don't think this is normal either, but can't seem to find any answers either.
