Looking for info: PB vs Sliming vs reflux vs vomiting

I think I may be in the green zone( or close to it,) however, I have occasional where I chew and swallow good and it sits in my chest. My mouth starts to fill with greasy saliva and I gag and bring up the chewed up food. It's not a ton and its not a powerful expulsion. It's quiet and I can usually use a paper towel ( as opposed to a full-out vomit in the toilet.) I don't feel burning or heartburn.

It usually happens within the first few bites of food, and after I can eat comfortably.

Is this PB? Sliming? Vomiting? Reflux?

I'm trying to identify what is happening before I see my doctor.

Thanks folks!( sorry if this is gross! )

Sliming and PBing. imo

I have the same thing, usually when I eat bread, tortilla etc. I asked my doctor about it. He said its called sliming and not to worry. It's just we are eating too much, too fast, too big of a bite etc.. So the food gets stuck and the natural reaction is a thick saliva tries to go to the pouch to help digestion. The problem is there is no room so it usually comes up. When it happens to me it's just feels like I cant swallow until a few slimed come up, then I'm fine. I just hope this doesn't cause slippage. I have this probably once a week at least. I'm in the green zone also.

So excited to experience my first slime...lol. Just had band on 5/24... solid food doesn't soun so good anymore...

Sliming is GROSS and a bit scary. It's also a huge embarrassment. I broke out in a sweat at work the other day when I felt like it was going to happen.

It's usually my first few bites so I think I need to focus on slowing down.
