I have constant saliva, spit, slimy stuff that comes up. I walk around with paper towels and sleep with them. Saw doctor on 5 1 14 and next appointment on 5 15 14 cause they don't know what it is, they are talking like they might have loosen my sleeve. I was sleeved on 4 2 14. Anyone ever been through this or have any suggestions.

I have the same problem if something doesn't agree with me or if I've eating a bite more than I should have. I've had to vomit a couple times to feel better. I think my head and sleeve are stil confused. My surgery was on 4-8-14

Are you on an acid inhibitor such as Prilosec/ omeprazole?

The excess saliva seems to be a common gsv issue.

Its happening to me I have to keep a paper towel on me at all times its like mucus in saliva is taking up too much room I can't drink, gotta spit it out like my post nasal drip I swear it is filling my throat or before anything else

No, I'm not on medication or anything. From what my friends have said (who had VSG over a year ago), it's called "Sliming". Oooh, fun stuff! It just means you either ate too fast or too much. They said to slooooooooow down and CHEW CHEW CHEW. And be sure to pay attention to what your body is telling you. I love how a lot of people call their new stomach "Frankensleeve". It's TRUE!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
