I Need Help!! Slime And Mucus!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone so I got a fill last Friday, and was fine up until Tuesday. I started to have a slimy in my throat and mouth. It's causing me to not keep anything food or liquids down. I'm constantly throwing up, and spitting up this nasty discharge. Is there any suggestions on how to stop this? I've been without food and liquids for three days and I'm desperate. I've called the doctor and he's not available. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated!!! :(((

All I can say is keep calling the doctor. I'm pretty new at this fill/green zone thing, but it sounds like maybe you're too tight? Keep on your doctor. If he isn't available ask for a partner or their nurse/MA.

Sounds like you need an unfill. Be persistent in getting this resolved ASAP.

I agree with Jen, your doctor/nurse should take you in for an un-fill immediately! This happened to me, and they took me in the next day!

You might just have a little swelling. If your doctor is unavailable, put yourself back on liquids for a few days. Try drinking cold beverages. It will help reduce the swelling. If it isn't any better after 3 or 4 days go for an unfill. I'm sure your doctor will be available by then.

If you haven't had liquids in 3 days, call your surgeons office and tell the answering service this. If they are non-responsive call your primary care doctor, or go to the ER!!

NOW.

Dehydration is nothing to mess with. You are too tight. Get help.

I agree with Cocoabean. 3 days is long enough and you prob aren't going to get better. I had that happen last month too and tried to wait it out. Waited until Thursday and unfort they were in surgery on Friday so I waited til Tuesday to get some out. It was a long wait! I'd get in as soon as possible.

So I ended up finding a different doctor and he did an un-fill. Let me say that I feel soooo much better! I was WAY too tight. I'm going to stick with this doctor bc the doctor I was previously with was a total jerk. They just kept ignoring me! This new doctor offered to monitor me and he is so much closer than my previous doctor. Thanks for the advise everyone. It's much appreciated!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
