Hey family, I had my sleeve done on Friday the 28th. I just left the hospital and will be on my own tonight I can't sleep, and my mouth will not stop having to SPIT. I have filled up a cup already and it's seems thats the reason I can't sleep.... Somebody help me please...

Just some thoughts/ideas: Don't drink anything 30 minutes before bed time. Also, try to prop yourself up and sleep on your back and see if that doesn't help keep things down.

If it continues all night, I'd call my doctor in the morning.

That happened to me also, I found taking smaller sips while standing really helped me. When you get nauseous, you are taking a mouthful rather than a small sip and should wait more than 5 minutes between sips, I hope this helps.

I used to have this happen to me...especially after I ate to much. I thought there was something seriously wrong with my saliva glands! This to shall pass. In the mean time...keep a cup handy to spit it all out...cause swallowing it will make you queazy. Try to sleep on your side with a towel underneath your mouth so your pillow doesn't get drenched. Make sure not to overfill your stomach with Water, or anything else. It will get better....it is all part of the process. :)

I had that too but it was caused by my pain meds. It stopped at Day 4, and now only happens when I over-do it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
