I've noticed that when I'm getting full I get a runny nose.

Have you felt anything like that? My friend says she sneezes when full. Weird this never happened to me before the surgery.

I started getting the runny nose and sneezing after surgery. It has lessened with the runny nose, but I still sneeze a lot when I get full.

It probably is linked to the "slimes". It's like your esophogus creates thicker slimey mucus which helps get the food down if you eat too fast or too much... It makes me feel like I need t hack it up but I could see how it could make you feel like you need to sneeze, or could cause runny nose.

This is what people call your soft stop.You are very lucky to have this as the moment you've had enough you will know that is when you should stop!

My friends that's 2 years and longer post sleeve still have it...this might be a great STOP later on when you can eat too much but shouldnt.

I dont have it and wish I did!My full feeling often comes when I have already taken a bite or 2 too many!

I have a single hiccup when I am full. At that point I stop, my body is telling me I am done. I think it is a good thing. They say you need to listen to your body, I have been trying, but my body is doing so many new things, it is hard at times.

I get a single hiccup as well. I'm six weeks out n couldn't figure out my signal which in turn made me deathly sick by eating too much or too fast, now I know as soon as I hiccup, I'm finished!!!

I wish I had that sneeze signal:). I tend to stop early, don't want slimes, but than sometimes I get hungry soon after.

Hee hee! I'm excited to see others sneeze! My husband thinks I'm crazy and my co-workers laugh when I start because I sneeze at LEAST 6-7 times when food gets to the "spot". And still does 2+years out! Funny how it affects all if us differently

yep, I get the runny nose. It really is odd because I never had that happen before getting the VSG and I know for sure that I have filled up my pre-VSG stomach. It really is a blessing because eating too much or too fast makes me feel miserable (although, thank God, I have not thrown up since the 3rd day after surgery!).

Oh Dayum, that's what all this sneezing is all about. I couldn't figure it out. I'm not allergic to anything & I've been sneezing my butt off.

Interesting to hear this..... my sign is my stomach keeps going like fire crackers.. people sitting beside me can hear it... but when I've had too much I get the slimes which is a sign that I'm gonna likely throw up :)

I noticed this happening a couple times and didn't really pay attention to it until I payed closer attention and yup it only happens when I'm full.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
