Is this Sliming?

demsvmejm · March 29, 2007

So this a.m. my teeny tiny HBP pill got stuck,:cry have been feeling it most of the day in my esophagus. Have been drinking h20 all day, had some cottage cheese for lunch, it still feels like its stuck.

All of a sudden I've been getting these small "snot-like" balls of stuff coming up my throat, I have to hack them up to spit them out.

Is this sliming?

Sorry I'm being so gross

Yes, that is sliming. Either that or PB. Both have something come up. Good luck.

Sliming happens when you swallow something too big to go thru the band right away---your body quickly manufactures a thick saliva to try to help the "object" go thru. if the saliva builds up too quickly to get thru the band--well--it's gotta come out somewhere--you get it in your mouth and you feel the need, quickly, to spit it out! it's gross--but it's manageable. really, sounds worse in writing than it is when happening. but--if you're not near a bathroom--then you're in trouble!

yeah...i've been recently introduced to all this---after my 2nd fill. i'm waiting until my next dr. appt (4/24) to talk about a slight unfill--or to see if i can manage to really unlearn my life-long habits of eating too much, too fast--which is trickier than i thought it would be.

It was if I was, excuse the term "hacking" up phlem balls. They would kinda just appear in the back of my throat. I just spit them out. Weren't bigger than a pea. Hasn't happened since.
