I had my sleeve 4 days ago and I can not stop spitting. It keeps me up at night because when I doze off, I wake up gagging. What is wrong??

@@MrsMike1 it sounds like possibly your vagus nerve is injured but you really should contact your surgeon for advice.

is it you cant stop spitting or youre spitting because you are building up a lot of saliva?

if it doesn't get any better, I'm going to let him know. I have an appointment on Monday. I am building up a lot of saliva. thanks for replying to ,y post.

Perhaps something for reflux would help. Either an increase in what you're already taking or a different PPI all together.

Nausea can cause your salivary glands to kick into high gear (have you noticed you start dumping saliva when you're about to throw up? I was super nauseous and dry heaving most of day 3, so I had a lot of saliva production as well. It went away as soon as the nausea did. Could this be it??

I had the same problem. I was sleeved on Halloween and I had to spit all day even woke me up at night. My Dr said it was not uncommon but he gave me Zantac for reflux and thank god it worked!

How long did it take to go away?
