Does anyone else experience this? Do you know why it would happen? My saliva is foamy and slimy :-( I'd love to hear someone else tell me this is Normal lol

If your newly post op I understand this was happening to me for at least 2 half months out I had to spit every minute it seem like it gets better but I'm 4months and it's not happening in the beginning I use biotene mouth wash it helped alot

we talked bout this topic in our support group the other day...and come to find out it is a built in defence your body does once you get full and it feels you might puke...according the Gastro Dr. it protects your teeth when when you vomit from stomach acid...not sure if this helps but this is what we discussed in group.

I experienced the same thing and was given a prescription for an anti gas medicine. This also happens when food is not chewed enough and gets stuck and does not go down properly. It can also happen when you drink to soon after eating. Try this and also speak to your nut and/or surgeon. Good luck to you.

This is what is called the slimes or foamies. You get it if you eat too fast or too much. Some people also get it when their new stomach does not agree with this and they have developed an intolerance.

Thanks for all the comments it's really weird because its not happening when I'm eating or drinking. I don't eat more than 2 ounces I haven't eaten or drank anything for 3 hours other than a sip of water and its still happening :-( ill be sure to bring it up at my next visit. Thanks again

This is happening to me too. I am also having issues with Cole in my throat. It's really driving me crazy! I'm a month post op.

Yes .. It get better its worse in the morning .. Use the biotene mouth wash like I said earlier it will help .. That's the after affect of surgery the meds they give you to put u under

It can also happen because sleeve surgery/reducing the size of your stomach also reduces the number of receptors that trigger saliva production. Your body will adjust with time!!

I use to get that at the beginning as well. Happened even when I was not eating or drinking as well. I also use Biotene due to Sjogren's Syndrome, but it did help with the foam and slimy saliva. It will get better. Good luck and keep us posted!

I'm 3 months out and when this happens to me it is because I have eaten too much or too fast, and it's coming back up.....sigh.....when will I ever learn???

I experienced it once. It happened about a month ago at 4 months out. I was giving dinner for the men in my house and was eating my own food while doing it. I was eating roasted kale and some cottage cheese and I believe 1 I ate too fast

2 I ate a bite or two, too much and 3 the kale on top of it. I ended up with a stomach that was too full and hurting and after about an hour I began burping up mouthful of foam. I learned my lesson to really pay attention when I am eating.
