Okay, this is going to be weird but has anyone else experienced this? Everytime I eat (and I mean EVERY TIME!) as soon as any food reaches a certain area of my esophagus (i think and not my stomach since it feels higher up) I am prompted to start sneezing! Not one time - I will sneeze sometimes 8-9 times! lol

Really weird. I had somewhat the same phenomenon before VSG when I got choked. I would sneeze once after getting choked but this is ridiculous! ha!

My husband now just braces himself and looks at me like, " Here we go again!" Ha!

Anybody else had anything like this happen to them?

Nope, sorry.....

No and I've been reading WLS boards for many years now. However, be glad in that your "full trigger" is very pronounced! Good for you!

Yes, this definitely happens to me if I eat too much. Not sure how it's all connected, but it does happen. I try to be very careful to not eat to that point as I know it's too much.

Nope, but everyone is different! I get the hiccups when I'm full, and I've gotten a runny nose a few times as my "you've gone too far" signal.

I have my own little sneeze thing, though: If I cough I always sneeze afterwards, two or three times. It makes those summer colds and bouts of bronchitis so much fun!

I sometimes cough if I eat too fast, but it seems to have subsided. Does it happen if you drink or is it just food?

In the beginning I used to get the hiccups or a runny nose. Now just the sneezing, and I only notice it with food, not water.

YUP! Everytime i drink milk! I sneeze my face off sometimes up to 20 times!

My coughing only occurs with food, not water too. If I eat dry food like bacon it can be quite irritating, especially if I am hungry and eat quite quickly. Although it has settled done massively recently. I emailed my surgeon and he did not know why this was happening and suggested I should get some upper GI test done but I have not got round to it yet.

And here I thought it was only my strange family that had that problem. :thumbup:

Both my grandmother and I will sneeze after we get choked on something. Everybody is always teasing us about it. I hope I don't have the "sneezing if eating to much" syndrome too after surgery!! :001_tongue:

I don't sneeze, but for the longest I was like WHERE IS MY SLEEVE? B/c my food would quickly settle in my esophagus not in my sleeve. So I kept thinking he operated on my esophagus by mistake. I was quite a ways out of surgery, maybe 2 mos, when I finally ate a small whole meal and it settled immediately, happily in my sleeve instead of on top of it.

I guess the top entry to the sleeve was really swollen for a long time. Now food only gets 'stuck' (not really stuck but feels like it) if I eat meat that is too tough or so.

My mom sneezes in three's when she is full (she had bypass)

I always have one giant hiccup and I know I am full.

I'll keep my hiccups!

Hic cups for me when I am full
