Hello all.. so I was banded 03/07 and to date have had one fill and everything seemed to be okay... still getting liquids down with NO prob.. some foods remind me I need to take the time to chew. SOO I had the bright idea to make sandwhich for lunch, Two bites and I thought I was gonna die!!! I am familiar with what its like to have something "stuck" so the feeling was FAMILIAR however this time it didnt pass!! OMG I was freakin out!! the pain was WOW! long story short. I had my first PB?? eww but what was that slime that came up first??? I let out a huge cough and it flew out of my mouth.. NASTY I know!! finally after a few "dry heaves" the bread came up!! AHHH!!! I am not really worried about damage because it wasnt painful to "barf" and its the first time. Should I be worried??? and still would like to know what that "slime" was about!!

~no more bread~!!

destynee, It is my understanding that the slime is something our body naturally produces when it's going through the whole digestive process and, in this case, to try to help get the food to pass through. However, because your stoma is so small, it just wasn't going through so it all, slime included, came back up. Hope this helps!

The "slime" is saliva that your body produces as a natural means to try and wash the obstruction down. So now you know: No more bread for you!

Oh yea you said it! NO MORE BREAD FOR ME!! What a horrible experience!!

Well at least now I can relate!! (PB)
