Does this ever happen to anyone beside me? I had a fill last week and it seemed to be fine, but last night I had some issue due to congestion and my sinus. Now my mouth is watery and I have to swallow every few seconds and last night I had white foam coming up. I think I may have messed up because I tried to drink a cup of mountain dew, but that afternoon it was still difficult to eat anything. I did not have any issues like this last week.

It sounds like you were "sliming" which is what happens when something is stuck, the mouth waters and foams trying to lubricate your passages to get the blocked out.

I would stay away from carbonated beverages - did you Dr say it was ok to have soda? A lot of ppl here say their Dr and Nut. take it out of their diet completely.

If this keeps happening you can stand upright with yoru hands over your head and walk around for a little while to see if it subsides. I suggest you call your Dr and see if he wants you to come in.

It sounds like either you're too tight or something has seriously irritated the band. The Mountain Dew was a really bad idea because carbonation is a big no-no anyway.

I would give your doctor a call. A good friend of mine had the foaming problem and she had to have some Fluid removed from her band to make it stop.

Best wishes

Just want to say that not all drs say no to carbonation. My dr is fine with it as long as I don't have any trouble with it. I mostly drink carbonated water and an occasional diet coke. Double check with your dr regarding it because it's not always off limits. However, if this is the reaction you had due to it, I would want to avoid it! Good luck :-)

My dr. Also said carbonation was okay as long as I poor it in a glass over ice and let it "fizz out" for a bit. Too scared to try it though.

Sound like you may need a tiny defill. I would check with your doctor.

I was told no carbonated beverages at all... but each doctor is different. I did try it twice over the past 7 years and both times I thought I was going to die... NEVER again.

Did you get a unfill ?

No, I haven't gotten one yet. I have been monitoring myself. The foam has subdued, but now I keep burping. I think with my fill I have to re train myself to eat because I have been able to eat more choices than when I began my lap band journey. One other thing does menstrual cycle cause your band ti be tight.

Yea it does! Trust me

Okay guys, I finally made it to the dr, but I had to wait because if the holidsy abd tge full center was closed from Thursday to monday. They did an exray abd I have a damn dialiton!!! I am so scared that I screwed uo. I have heard that once you hsve a dialiton yoy continue to gave issues. I feel like its my fault because I should gave gone in sooner, but work and with the fill center being so damn far, I jept puttung it off. I am on liquids fir 4 days, then mushy, the solid. Plus they had to take out a lit up f my fluid.

My surgeon is a lap band patient and he drinks diet coke once a day. He stir it to get most if the carbonation out.

Guys I will avoid carbonated beverages from now on, because this coukd if been part of the cause if my dilation.
