Hi, I was banded in Monterrey Mexico in September 2010. Dr. Zapata was my surgeon. My experience in Monterrey was excellent. My port is situated off to the side and my band holds 4cc. I needed to wait longer than normal for my 1st fill, because of a prior hernia repair. So I just received my 1st fill on Dec 15, 2010. (my band holds 4cc and my 1st fill was 1.5 cc) I have experienced several episodes of "slimeing". After consuming 3-4 bites of a meal, my food feels lodged and I want to throw it up, but this slime comes up when I burp, until I throw up lots of slime, not much of what I just ate. Any suggestions why this is happening? This isnt happening all the time, just periodically!
