Can't swallow my saliva



Recommended Posts

I've just had my 8th fill and now up to 6.9 ml/cc. Everything seemed fine first couple of days. Tonight though I've eaten some meat that wasn't the best quality and it got stuck. So I went to the bathroom about 5 times to try and bring it up. I thought I had got it all but I now can't drink Water without having to sick up. I'm now scared to go to sleep because I can't even seem to keep down my saliva. Something must still be stuck but I can't seem to dislodge it, any ideas of what to do?

If you haven't done so already, call your surgeon's office ASAP. This sounds like a bad situation to be in. I hope they will be able to give you prompt relief.

You're likely very swollen. Agree with the poster above. I hope you went directly to the emergency room or spoke to your surgeon.

That sounds just me today, ate 2 small strawberries and couldn't swallow water 20 minutes later kept bringing it up. Definitely seeing the doctor in the morning to get some fill out!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I really wanted to avoid having any fill taken out. I have heard so many stories that once you do that you are back to square one and usually gain weight before getting back on track. The reason I've had 8 fills is because my doctor has been so cautious and I felt sure 0.2ml/cc couldn't have affected me that much as the day before had been fine.

My gut feeling was that some food was stuck and that's why I couldn't swallow liquid or saliva as it was just layering on the top. No matter how many times I tried to sick it up I was only bringing up Fluid. In the end I took a few large gulps of Water and then brought it up along with the bit that was stuck.

It is tighter but definitely manageable and I am personally pleased I managed to sort it out as I dread the thought of the rocky road of having to have fill taken out. Thanks again though for all your messages.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
