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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
